The Chappell family is a fifth generation peach grower. The very first orchard was planted in 1927 by James Chappell in Candor, North Carolina. Farming became a family affair then as it is today.  

It is in honor of our founders, H. Pat Chappell who joined the Lord in 2017 and his wife Phyllis Chappell who joined the Lord in 2022, that the Chappell Family proudly continues their legacy. Today, the farm has grown into an operation that handles hundreds of acres of peaches and ships them throughout the United States and Canada. Approximately 15 different varieties are distributed under the brand of “Pat’s Pride”. 

Chappell Farms is operated by Pat and Phyllis’ children, son Bud and his wife Sonia, second son Tommy, and his daughter, Lynne.
