About Us
Welcome
a family of farmers
Cornucopia Farms was founded in 2016 by William Rodriguez, a Venezuelan native who was born and raised on his family farm. At an early age, Rodriguez learned the ins and outs of traditional farming and helped maintain his family’s crops and cattle. As a fourth generation farmer, his great-grandfather passed down the family tradition to William and inspired him to develop a life-long passion for creating healthy organic produce.
In 2016, William Rodriguez sought to bring innovation to the agriculture industry in the southeast United States and added key players, Maurizio Giabbai and Bruce Jones to the organization in order to help his mission. Their goal is to not only help local communities gain access to fresh produce but also to help stimulate the local economies by providing job opportunities and helping educate the next generation of farmers on innovative, sustainable and organic methods of farming.
"Our mission is to end harmful methods of modern agriculture by satisfying the growing need for organic produce to be grown in a local, fresh and sustainable way."

We are proud to be registered members of Georgia Organics, the Georgia Agribusiness Council and Georgia Grown. We are also recognized amongst select organic produce facilities, who reduce the carbon footprint our industry is working tirelessly to minimize.
