Our Heritage
A Family History
By 1938, Wedgworth Farms, Inc., Wedgworth Produce, Inc., and Wedgworth’s, Inc., the fertilizer company, were continuing to prosper and expand.
In 1942, a large commercial cattle operation was started . . . as an offshoot from George’s high school 4-H project!
Nearly a century after Herman and Ruth Wedgworth arrived in Belle Glade, their legacy keeps growing.
