Family owned and operated for more than 30 years. Herndon Farms originated in 1979, under the inspiration of L. G. “Bo” Herndon Jr. He began his farming career with only one small tractor, a small piece of land, and a few hogs. His wife Gill, worked outside of the home for 14 years to take care of the household expenses so the farm’s income could be generated back into the business. Herndon now produces 500 acres of Vidalia Sweet On-ions, 900 acres of sweet corn (white, yellow, and bi-color), 500 acres of leafy green vegetables (collards, mustard, turnips and kale) and 200 acres of sweet potatoes. Herndon Farms is a member of the Vidalia-Montgomery Chamber of Commerce and the Toombs-Montgomery-Vidalia Onion Growers Association.
