Andrews Farming Co, LLCGalax VA & Ennice, NC

Keith Andrews and Robert “Bobby” Andrews hail from a long generation of farmers dating back to 1914. They are the third generation of Andrews to continue the cabbage farming legacy.

Currently, Keith Andrews and brother Robert “Bobby” Andrews are partners in the farming and distribution business today. They have farms nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina where they grow cabbage, pumpkins and watermelons using conventional and no-till methods. Their dedication and hard work catapulted them into a thriving farming, sales and distribution company with a fleet of Kenworth tractor and trailers. Andrews’ sales & distribution area encompasses Southwest Virginia and parts of

Northern Virginia, East Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Andrews’ local cabbage growing season commences June 1st and ends November 1st. However, Andrews Farming Company sells cabbage during all the growing seasons year round as well as potatoes, onions, pumpkins and watermelons in season. Andrews Farming Company has expanded to a cold storage and warehouse facility that is approximately 100,000 square feet. The acreage for local growing consists of 250 acres for cabbage, 100 acres for watermelons, 350 acres for pumpkins and 400 acres for Christmas trees.

“Farming is such an extreme challenge and you are constantly striving to better your techniques year after year whether it is

using the latest technology, equipment and chemicals.” - Keith Andrews
