About Us:

Calhoun Produce Inc. was incorporated in 1992 and is located in Ashburn, Georgia. It is owned and operated by Gerald and Joyce Calhoun, their son Brad, and daughter Sheila Rice.

The farm is a Georgia Agri-tourism site. In the spring we grow 2 1/2 acres of strawberries in Turner county You can bring your family out and enjoy picking strawberries, eating homemade strawberry ice cream, strawberry shortcake and strawberry lemonade. We have a family shelter for picnics and birthday parties. We offer spring and fall field trips daily for area schools, home schools, church groups, etc.

Our main crop is fresh shelled butterbeans and peas. We begin picking in early June to late October. The business has grown continuously with several area farmers growing butterbeans and peas for us also. We harvest, process, and market the vegetables. The butterbeans and peas are shelled and packed in 8 lb bags. We grow a variety of peas including: pink eyes, zippers, creams, white acres, lady fingers, crowders and black eyes.

We also carry many other seasonal fruits and vegetables grown locally. We operate three seasonal farm markets at their farm in Turner county, in Worth county and on the Cordele State Farmers Market.

In October, we have a corn maze, pumpkin patch and sunflower field. The fall activities are open to the public on Saturdays and open for field trips during the week.

During the Christmas season we special in gift baskets and gift boxes. We carry John Deere toys and collectibles, farm related items, farm home décor, gourmet jellies and jams, local honey, fresh breads, chocolate candy and brittles..

Our goal is to provide our customers with fresh quality produce so they will return again and again.
