L&M was founded in 1964 by Joe McGee. Joe grew up on a small family farm located in Johnston County, North Carolina. His parents taught him the value of a hard day's work and strong relationships. After more than five decades, we are still well grounded in the same principles; we work hard — with respect, passion, leadership and excellence — and always with unyielding integrity.

It's worth repeating that we are passionate about our produce. Getting the right product to our customers at the right time is a goal that drives every member of the L&M team. Understanding their needs is important to us and knowing what it takes to get the job done is our expertise. We promise persistence. You can rest assured that we're going to do everything we can to bring you the very best fresh produce.

What do you need most to grow great produce? That’s easy: great people. And we are lucky to have a family full of them.

When you are a part of the team at L&M, you are a part of our family. Our people are proud of the products we grow and the people they work alongside with. We care about our “family” and are committed to ensuring our employees thrive to be their most productive and fulfilled selves.

The nature of our industry in fresh produce demands a lot from the people committed to it. There’s no secret to our 50 years of success – we work hard together. We look for energetic people who are committed to the core values that define how we work and interact with all people we encounter – both internally and externally. As we cultivate an incredible future focused on healthy and fresh foods, we are looking for people to join our team with: respect, passion, leadership, excellence and unyielding integrity.
