Correll Farms
Located in Cleveland, North Carolina, Correll Farms, LLC is a sixth-generation family farm with a rich agricultural heritage dating back to the late 1880s. What began when Martha Correll purchased farmland to provide an inheritance for her son, Franklin, has grown into a thriving, diversified farming operation rooted in stewardship, conservation, and a deep commitment to preserving agricultural traditions for future generations.
Today, David and Cheryl Correll operate the farm alongside their children, Josie and Talton, continuing a legacy of innovation and adaptability that has sustained the family farm for more than 130 years. Throughout its history, the farm has evolved to meet changing agricultural and economic conditions, transitioning from row crops to a Grade A dairy operation, and later expanding into diversified vegetable production.
Correll Farms currently grows more than 100 varieties of vegetables, along with potatoes, melons, tomatoes, peppers, and other seasonal crops. The farm also maintains a flock of laying hens that produce colorful, farm-fresh eggs. Their products are available through farmers markets, food hubs, local restaurants, wholesale channels, and their long-running home delivery service.
Conservation has always been at the heart of the farm's mission. Generations of the Correll family have championed soil and water conservation, farmland preservation, and sustainable farming practices. In recognition of these efforts, the farm was named Conservation Farm Family of the Year in 2019. To ensure the land remains a working farm forever, Correll Farms is protected under a Conservation Easement in perpetuity, safeguarding its agricultural future for generations to come.
Beyond farming, the Correll family is deeply involved in agricultural advocacy and education. They work closely with local schools, FFA programs, community organizations, and agricultural boards to promote the importance of farming, farmland preservation, and local food systems. Their dedication to agriculture extends beyond the farm gate, helping strengthen and support North Carolina agriculture at both the local and state levels.
