ABOUT US
History
Strickland Farming is headquartered on Hollingsworth Road in Dobbersville, North Carolina. Garrett Strickland (6th generation) grew up and still lives on Hollingsworth Road. While the beginning date of the farm is unknown, Garrett remembers his grandmother (4th Generation) saying that her grandfather (2nd generation) fought in the Civil War at the Battle of Bull Run. Since about 1861, the Hollingsworth, Odom, Sutton or Strickland families have been operating a farm in Dobbersville. Reggie Strickland came back to farm full time in 1987, making him the 7th generation to farm the land.
