Johnson conserves land while farming it
Kirby Johnson, seventh generation Mills River farmer and packer, runs about 500 acres of vegetables locally and 900 more in Florida. His Flavor 1st packing house ships 20 to 30 tractor trailer loads daily along the East Coast. He uses grass buffers, crop rotation, cover crops, and a fall mustard crop to protect soil and water quality while supporting farmland preservation efforts.
