Franklin's Story and The Farm
Franklin 1942 - 2021
At Franklin's Farm, we don't just sell quality, hand-harvested farm products. Franklin's Farm is much more than that. It all started with one, beloved hard working man - Franklin Marshburn.
​
Born in 1942 in a small eastern NC community, Franklin's life circumstances made it so he had to become a man fast ... his dad died when he was only 14 years old, leaving him to care for his mother, grandmother and the family farm at a ripe young age.
​
Raised with virtue and values of farm life, Franklin developed intense generosity and dedication that established the very foundation Franklin's Farm is built upon today.
​
Gathered and packaged by hand, we handle and deliver all of our products with the same care Franklin took with every task he tackled throughout his life.
​
To honor Franklin's legacy of generosity, we donate a large portion of our sales to The Autism Society of North Carolina. Having a grandson afflicted with autism, Franklin understood the heart-wrenching struggles autism brings to families.
​
That's why we're seizing the opportunity to help in any way we can ... it's simply what Franklin would have done if he were here today.
