Mr. Robinson continues to farm the land which his daddy farmed under the iron fist of “Jim Crow Laws” during the 1930s. The Robinson’s Farm operation consists of vegetables and beef cattle production. Mr. Robinson plants upward of 4 acres of vegetables in the spring and fall using sustainable practices. “We produce a variety of vegetables including greens, tomatoes, squash, peas, cucumbers, green beans and others”. Mr. Robinson primarily sells directly from the farm with a lengthy list of regular customers. His wife, Anna manages the finance and marketing of produce to customers. Mr. Robinson said “this work is challenging; however it brings great reward in feeding families throughout Southwest Mississippi”. In 2012, the Robinsons sponsored their first
‘Saving Rural America Rally’ to promote sustainable farm practices in conjunction with Winston County Self Help Cooperative.
