History
Established in 1975.
Suzanne's Fruit Farm's history is written in detail on www.suzannesfruitfarm.com Owners Sylvia and David Reddin have continued the farming from David's father and grandfather; however, this is the first time that it turned into a fruit farm specialty. David has a BS in Agriculture and MS in Horticulture from U of A @ Fayetteville. He also did research work in horticulture while at the U of A, which has helped him in his farming. Sylvia graduated from the UofA in Fayetteville, while finishing up business credits at University of North Carolina. Since they both retired from the Federal Government, they now have more time to put their heart and soul into their fruit business. They kept the farm going all the time they were working as Federal Civil Service employees--USDA, USPS, National Defense and U of A Research.
