Wayne-Sanderson Farms’ Dobson, NC Complex has instituted an employee-led vegetable garden, establishing a fresh-produce exchange program for team members across all shifts! The initiative repurposes facility space and regional agricultural materials to provide free vegetables to employees. The garden was made possible by sourcing plants from local supplier Dobson Produce and soil from Mountain View Poultry, a local broiler farm. Additionally, metal stakes for the garden were reclaimed from the facility’s scrap yard. The garden features 30 tomato plants alongside squash, zucchini, cucumbers, poblano peppers, bell peppers, jalapeños and Carolina Reapers. Wooden trellises are used to optimize growing space for climbing cucumber vines. Harvested crops are shared in a rotating produce area in the breakroom, allowing employees across all three shifts to take fresh vegetables or share excess produce from their own home gardens. The garden project combines sustainable land use, local agricultural partnerships, and workplace wellness by offering fresh food access across the facility’s workforce. #MakingChickenAmazing Interested in exploring opportunities with our team?
