Some people called us crazy when we decided to start a farm. But having grown up in Johnston County, NC, Reid has long known the work ethic, values, and passions of the agriculture community.

After founding a few of their own businesses, Reid and Jaclyn realized what an honor it is to have the freedom and opportunity to be an entrepreneur, and how much of that opportunity gets eroded when large corporations take over Main Street operations.

And so the vision for Wilders was born; a desire to empower local growers, makers, and creators to build on their gifts and passions. A calling to steward talent and treasure by connecting local consumers with the best products out there, all while building the local economy.

Because we are all truly better together.
