Stan Cunningham

Greene County
North Carolina

Farming since 1985

Stan is a fourth-generation farmer who has gladly continued the tradition since 1982. His great grandfather established their current farm in 1921. Stan has many memories of farming with his father and grandfather, some of which have taught him the importance of compromise. He recalls the two arguing about how to properly operate a tobacco harvester they purchased in 1970. After much debate that lasted almost a year, they finally figured it out together. Stan lives in Greene County, North Carolina, and operates four houses.

Curvin Reiff

Berks County
Pennsylvania

Farming since 2015

Curvin lives in Berks County, Pennsylvania, where he operates two houses on land that's been in his family since 1998. As a second-generation farmer, Curvin shares his passion with his entire family. Once, when his daughter joined him on a shopping trip to the farm store, she begged him to buy her a small wheelbarrow so she could help feed the chickens. Curvin simply couldn't resist. The family spends a lot of time around the animals, and also quite a lot of time repairing things when they break. Such is the farmer's life!

Benny Day

Grayson County
Kentucky

Farming since 1997

Farmer Benny Day turned to poultry as a way to transition from tobacco farming and financially support his farm. And he's glad that he did. Day farms 90 acres in Grayson County, Kentucky, where he raises chickens and grows hay, corn and soybeans. This farmer is proud to partner with Perdue, a company he admires for its focus on animal care and environmental stewardship. Day feels that one thing sets him apart as a farmer: 'I pay attention to detail,' he says. 'I treat the farm as if I want it to last forever.'
