Stokes Foods, Inc. is the supplier of the patented Stokes Purple® sweet potato. We are
committed to providing our customers with the best quality sweet potatoes
at nominal prices.
Stokes Purple sweet potatoes are grown on family
farms amidst one of North Carolina's most unique and natural landscapes in
and around Stokes County. The climate and soil composition of the
land surrounding Hanging Rock State Park, the Sauratown Mountain Range and
Pilot Mountain produces a sweet potato unusually rich in natural purple
color and nutrients, both of which are retained after
cooking.
Reversing today's trend toward global production and
processing, Stokes Purple is an exciting new crop which allows rural NC
communities to do what they do best - grow and package exceptional
products. Corresponding economic growth enhances entrepreneurship
and job opportunities while preserving our natural resources and
agricultural heritage.
