If you live in or near Lexington County there is a 90% chance that your taste buds have been delighted with fresh produce from the fields of Walter P. Rawl and Sons, Inc.© (also known as WP Rawl). Walter and Ernestine Rawl began the produce business long before the dawn of “agritech” or precision agriculture on a small, humble farm in Gilbert. Sunday, January 25th not only marked 100 years since the initial planting of their flagship cruciferous product, cabbage, but the date was also Walter and Ernestine’s wedding anniversary. Their dedication, sweat, and true grit along with a huge amount of family support led to remarkable success and growth in the industry. Operating on the original foundations of quality, integ- rity, reliability, and excellence, WP Rawl has built and maintained an impeccable reputation for providing the freshest, highest-quality fruits and vegetables in the Midlands since 1925.
