A Legacy of Family Farming in South Georgia: Corbett Brothers Farms

from A Fork in the Road

Dive into the heart of South Georgia's rich agricultural tradition as David Zelski takes you on a journey to Lake Park, Georgia, where Justin and Jared Corbett, the third generation of their family, carry on the legacy of bell pepper farming established by their grandfather in the 1970s. Discover how this family-owned operation has become one of the top producers of bell peppers, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and cabbage on the East Coast, and how they've recently expanded into Georgia's emerging citrus market with their popular Besties satsumas. Learn about the challenges of farming in unpredictable weather conditions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the innovative methods used to maintain quality control in both the picking and packing processes. Experience the Corbett brothers' dedication to their craft, love for their family heritage, and appreciation of the community they support. It's a tale of brotherly love, perseverance, and the bright future of Georgia-grown produce.
