Cooper Farms started out in the 80's as a hobby growing muscadines, blackberries and blueberries. Tim Cooper worked for MDOT for about thirty-three years as a project manager and needed something to fill his time between projects. For generations, the Cooper family earned their living through farming fruits, vegetables, cattle and hogs. Tim eventually took over the cattle farming from his dad. He had a friend who was Ag teacher in Alabama and encouraged him to start farming blackberries, blueberries and muscadines. Cooper Farms was the first farm in the area to do this, and it took off. Soon, we were selling to the local grocery stores. Then disease took the majority of the blackberries. That's when we started growing the muscadines.
