At an early age David Corbett alongside his sisters, began working the family farm with his parents, the late Dan and Cliffie Corbett. After high school and throughout his college years he always intended to pursue a career in farming. After graduating from college in 1970 David moved home and married Violet Bennett. Both had full time professions outside of farming to supplement their growing farm. After a few years, their farm had expanded, becoming their primary source of income, so David began farming full time. For the majority of David’s life he had grown row crops and tobacco and decided to try his hand at vegetable farming. After a few more years he added plastic row covering to his farming equation. Quickly thereafter vegetables proved to be a success, and the Corbett’s continually increased their acreage.
