Purvis Farms

Wade Purvis grew up in Plant City, FL where he discovered his love for the land early on. He watched his grandfather tend to his vegetable farm there and Wade always had a garden in the yard growing up. He graduated from Florida Southern University and started farming in Immokalee in 1986. He now farms 2000 acres of green beans, edamame Lima beans, and a wide variety of peas, and watermelons. He married his wife Karen in 1987 and has two kids who are both involved in the farm. Kyle runs Alliance Packing in Immokalee and Shayla helps behind the scenes with social media and compliance.
