Sam ( Buddy ) Darwin, the owner and
president of Pine Lawn Farm’s and
 Heart of Dixie Popcorn & Supply was raised
on the Pine Lawn farm in a farm family of peddlers. His daddy peddled milk,
butter, eggs, chickens, turkeys, pork, and beef, and vegetables of all kinds
that was grown, produced, and harvested right on the farm. Many of Sam’s
younger days were spent following his daddy and helping with the farm
deliveries.
Sam writes, “In addition to all the
crops mentioned above, we also grew cotton, wheat, and field
 corn. When I was
a child, we picked all of these crops by hand with the exception of wheat, which
was hired out and harvested with a threshing machine. It was hard work to pick
the crops by hand in those
days, I remember the aches and pains in my back that
was connected with picking cotton by hand and picking the “down rows” of
corn by hand. The “down rows” were the two rows of corn that the mule
drawn wagon knocked down when pulling through the corn field while the pickers
pulled the ears of corn off the stalks and pitched the ears in the wagon.”
“Daddy would put me pulling the ears
of corn from off of the “down rows” behind the wagon because at the
time, I was the closest to the ground and di dn’t have so far to reach, so to
speak, since I was the youngest and the shortest in the family. Thank goodness
for modern technology, that has eliminated picking the “down rows” ,
because at 6 feet 3 inches tall, it would really hurt my back these days
compared to when I was much younger.”
"I gained a valuable work ethic and a
knowledge of sales and marketing from growing up on the farm. We always had
something to eat for sale. It is the same today on Pine Lawn Farm, which has
been in my family since 1817, we always have something to eat for sale.”
"So in 1985 Pine Lawn Farm’s was
looking for a crop that we could market directly to the consumer. We chose
popcorn to supply this “nitch” market." Today at Heart of Dixie Popcorn
and Supply we continue to plant,
grow, and harvest a variety of farm crops, including growing and selling our
grade A high expansion popcorn our private label of Heart of Dixie.
Web Site - Heart of
Dixie Brand Popcorn - A Family Tradition
Dateline: March 1, 2002
Customers throughout the United States, Central and South America, Asia, and
Europe enjoy the unique flavor and color of our popcorn. Our retail
packaging for many years was called Highvalley's Pride - so named for the
Cherokee Indian medicine man of North Alabama and days gone by.
The Cherokee prized popcorn both as a
food and the belief that the kernels held both health and great spiritual value.
Today, Frances Darwin ( Sam's wife )
and her family raise this popcorn on the same rich red soils of North Alabama
and Madison County that her Cherokee ancestor Highvalley and his people raised
it many years ago. We invite you to join us at Heart of Dixie Popcorn &
Supply and taste a tradition that has lasted for generations, the magic of
popcorn.
