Bob and Verna Budd
Oak Hill Farms
Bob and Verna Budd started Oak Hill Farms in 1983 in their kitchen, and for 20 years grew the organization to a multi-plant company of 120 employees. The company stands as an example of the successful use of a 'branded' ingredient, the Vidalia onion, around which they built a product line. Bob continues to consult in the specialty food industry.
