Meet our Team.
South Wind Produce is family owned and operated by Miles Okal and Angie Raines. We created South Wind Produce in 2014 after spending 10+ years learning and working on organic and sustainable farms in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. We believe small farming is a productive and beautiful way of life. It is the context through which we seek to contribute to our community and to build meaningful lives for ourselves.
Our 47-acre farm in Rougemont, NC was formerly a tobacco farm. We purchased the land in 2014 and began the slow transformation of the soil and landscape to a diverse ecosystem of fruits, vegetables, orchard, pasture, wetlands and woods. Building nutrient-dense soil is our primary focus, and we use methods like cover cropping, compost application and minimal tillage to support living organic soils. In 2023 we became officially Certified Organic.
With 10 acres under organic production we work with an incredible team to keep the land and crops productive and healthy. Brian, Eduardo, Reuben and Francisco are the backbone of South Wind Produce. Together our team handles the production of every crop we grow from seed to harvest and delivery. We take great pride in our work and the quality of our produce.
