Based in Reidsville, GA, the heart of the Vidalia® growing region, Shuman Farms is a year-round grower, packer, and shipper of premium sweet onions from Vidalia, Peru, and Texas.
With the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure show coming soon, many at the company are preparing for exhibiting both in-person and virtual.
“While nothing can quite compare to being on the show floor in person, we understand the need for a virtual option this year,” said John Shuman, president and CEO of Shuman Farms. “Having the virtual booth, in addition to our booth on the show floor, will allow us to reach retailers that may not be traveling yet. We are thankful to the Southeast Produce Council for providing both options so that we may connect with as many people as possible.”

Reverend Sylvester S. Beaman of the Bethel AME Church of Wilmington Delaware, a family advisor of former Vice-President Joseph R. Biden, has been tapped to give the benediction at the Biden inauguration scheduled for January 20, 2021. The benediction is the closing prayer of the meeting.
Former Navy officer, former Niagara Falls resident and current resident of Wilmington Delaware Barbara Kindred said that Reverend Beaman grew up in Niagara Falls’ north-end Highland community on 22nd Street between Tennessee and Centre avenues. There, he attended what was then the nearby Beech Avenue Elementary – now Henry Kalfas Magnet School.
