Briefly About Us

Scott Strawberry & Tomato Farms, Inc. was founded in 1959 by Wayne Scott.

Wayne Scott was a high school agriculture teacher who dreamed of putting what he taught to practice. Wayne and his wife Mary Lou worked hard for many years and built a very reputable name not only in the strawberry business but also in the tomato business as well as half runner beans and sweet corn.

They were not only successful in their business but in their family life as well. They had five children that grew up working on the farm. Becky, Carole, and Mike all graduated from college with a degree in education. After teaching for several years Carole is now employed by the farm and Becky and Mike have continued their careers as educators.

A Real Family Company

Sons Steve and David Scott joined their parents in the business.

Steve graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Horticulture in 1979 and farmed by his father's side for over 30 years. David graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Agriculture in 1980 and the two of them have worked hard to maintain the level of standards that Wayne and Mary Lou set years ago.

A New Generation

Strawberries are the first crop of the harvest season.

Our office is located in Unicoi, TN. The Packinghouse is at this location where we grade and ship tomatoes.

Our strawberries are the first crop of the season. The strawberries are picked fresh each day and sold at our retail sales stands located from Knoxville to Bristol.
