What Long & Scott Farms, Inc. does

Long & Scott Farms, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned Florida farm founded in 1963 by Frank Scott Jr. and Billy Long, operating across 1,200 acres in Lake County, Florida. The company runs a diversified agricultural business with five revenue streams: (1) fresh produce wholesale of trademarked Zellwood Triple-Sweet Gourmet Corn, Kirby pickling cucumbers, cabbage, collards, and kale, sold to major pickle brands including Claussen, Mt. Olive, and United Pickle Products and distributed through national terminal markets; (2) retail sales through Scott's Country Market (now part of Great Scott Farms) plus an online shop offering jams, jellies, sauces, and a weekly Fresh Harvest Variety Bag; (3) agritourism via the Great Scott Farms adventure park, a 7-acre educational corn maze, and a seasonal Fall Festival; (4) Great Scott Sod, selling Zoysia, St. Augustine, and Bahia turf grass by pallet for pickup; and (5) Great Scott Fresh Cuts, a value-added processing line producing shredded cabbage and pickles for local restaurants and grocers. The technology stack is traditional farming with sustainable bio-friendly practices, hand-harvesting with harvest aids, and a basic WordPress e-commerce front end; no proprietary software or AI/ML systems are in use. Go-to-market spans B2B wholesale (contact-based, re-sale license required, FOB Mt. Dora packing house), direct-to-consumer retail and e-commerce, agritourism ticketing with corporate sponsorship, and direct sod sales. The company donates over 4 million pounds of produce annually to Second Harvest Food Bank and local gleaner groups, and is currently in its fifth generation of family operation, with Frank's granddaughter Haley serving as Retail Manager and grandson Sonny as Farm Manager.

Broad incumbents

• Wish Farms: Wish Farms is one of the largest Florida produce grower-shippers, with national distribution across multiple crops. It is comparable to Long & Scott Farms' wholesale produce arm in serving major retail and terminal markets with Florida-grown crops, but at materially greater scale and crop breadth.
• Driscoll's: Driscoll's is the dominant branded fresh berry producer with national distribution and grower relationships across multiple states. Comparable in the sense that it demonstrates how a branded fresh-produce grower captures pricing power through trademarks and consumer brand recognition — relevant to Long & Scott's trademarked Zellwood Sweet Corn strategy at a much larger scale.
• Bonduelle: Bonduelle is a major international branded vegetable processor and grower supplying pickled, canned, and fresh-cut vegetable products globally. Comparable in the sense that Long & Scott's Kirby cucumber supply and Great Scott Fresh Cuts processing position it within Bonduelle's broader value-added vegetable supply chain.
• Duda Farm Fresh Foods: Duda Farm Fresh Foods is a multi-generational Florida-based diversified grower of vegetables, sugar cane, and sod/landscaping products. It is comparable to Long & Scott's combined produce + turf grass model, but operates at substantially larger scale and broader crop mix.
• Scotts Miracle-Gro: Scotts Miracle-Gro is the dominant U.S. consumer lawn and garden brand across fertilizers, seed, and sod. Comparable to Long & Scott's Great Scott Sod as a broad incumbent in the turf grass and lawn care category, though operating at vastly greater scale and with a national consumer brand.

Direct peers

• Hunsader Farms: Hunsader Farms is a multi-generation Florida family farm near Bradenton that runs a similar diversified model: U-pick produce, country market, pumpkin festival, corn maze, and CSA-style produce bags. It is the closest direct comparable in the Central/North Central Florida agritourism-produce hybrid space.
• Bethel Farms: Bethel Farms is a Florida-based turf grass producer growing multiple varieties for residential and commercial customers. It is the closest direct comparable for Long & Scott's Great Scott Sod division, operating in the same Florida climate and serving similar landscaping customers.
• Southern Hill Farms: Southern Hill Farms is a Central Florida (Clermont) U-pick blueberry and produce farm that has expanded into seasonal festivals, corn maze, and farm market retail. Comparable in combining fresh produce, agritourism, and family entertainment in the Lake/Orange County region.
• Mixon Fruit Farms: Mixon Fruit Farms is a Florida (Bradenton) family-owned farm combining citrus/gift fruit shipping, a farm market cafe, and agritourism events. Comparable in operating a multi-generation Florida farm with on-site retail, cafe, and seasonal events under a unified family brand.

Regional players

• Frey Farms: Frey Farms is a multi-state produce grower (Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Indiana) specializing in pumpkins, watermelons, and sweet corn with national retail relationships. Comparable in operating diversified produce across geographies and selling branded sweet corn through major retailers, though primarily serving Midwest and Southeastern markets.
