Our story
From a Buckboard Wagon to the East Coast
Back in 1926, Nun Henderson began driving a buckboard wagon route to deliver the fruits and vegetables he grew on his family farm. He had six mules to pull the wagon, and he’d spend the nights camping by the side of the road as he traveled down the mountain from the Green River Cove area of North Carolina to the cities of upstate South Carolina.
During the thirties and forties, his son Cecil Henderson drove a black pick-up truck to deliver apples and fresh produce to grocers throughout the region. In 1950, Cecil and Elizabeth Henderson founded C. L. Henderson Produce.
