HINKLE PRODUCE

Hinkle Produce is a family owned and operated business. It maintains hands-on control of every aspect on their 2000 acre vegetable farm. Today, over 150 employees work for Hinkle Produce during a fourteen week season harvesting and packing 1000 acres of sweet corn and 1000 acres of pumpkins. The packing is done in a 23,000 sq. ft. building that includes two specially designed hydro-coolers, a cold storage room and an ice-maker that generates 35 tons per day. In 2004 and 2008, new 23,000 sq. ft. and 18,000 sq. ft. buildings were built to handle the increase in pumpkin production, allowing us to ship 20 - 30 semi loads of palletized bin pumpkins and 6 - 8 semi loads of sweet corn daily... A privately funded Research & Development Program ensures cutting edge techniques are used in production, resulting in increased quality -- our #1 objective. Working with seed and chemical companies to test new products gives Hinkle Produce the edge on new developments not available to other growers...
