Long & Scott Farms is a 4th generation family farm, just west of Zellwood, Florida. In 1963, Frank D. Scott, Jr. left his Virginia family farm with his wife, Becky and three small children to start his own farm. He was encouraged by Billy Long, a successful ‘Muck” Farmer in Zellwood, who also was his childhood friend and neighbor from the Eastern Shore, of Virginia. Frank began by clearing 100 acres of sand land to grow vegetables and expanded to 1200 acres over the years. Frank semi-retired in the early 2000s, but you could always find him cutting grass or cultivating somewhere on the farm. We lost Dad/Papa in 2017, but he is still looking over us, every day. Frank loved farming and was very proud of his family.
Long & Scott is now run by Frank’s son Hank (Frank the III) with his son Sonny (Frank the IV) as the overall farm manager covering the vegetables, spraying and fertilizing. Hank’s daughter Haley Scott operates the Farmers Market and Café. Hank’s Sister, Rebecca Tyndall manages the Corn Maze and Agri-tourism on the Farm. Frank’s other son, Marks Scott also works at the farm, he is the Sod farm grower/manager. We are now growing about 280 acres of sod.
Pickle (Kirby) Cucumbers are our main crop at the Farm, each year we harvest 800 acres of cucumbers between the spring and fall seasons, along with 25 acres of the world famous Scott’s Zellwood Sweet Corn®. In the cooler winter season, 400 acres of Red, Green, and Savoy Cabbage are produced. Along with Collards, Kale and Florida sweet onions. We do service some local markets and restaurants but most of our produce is shipped out as far as Canada. You can always find Long and Scott Farms fresh produce at our Country store on the farm, which opens for the spring and fall seasons.
Long & Scott Farms is celebrating 56 plus years of quality vegetable production, and we are proud of our history and the many employees, vendors, customers, and Ag groups that have supported us over the years. We are very blessed and thankful for the resources of land and water, and we are good stewards of our land and water, protecting them for the next generation
