L&M’s founder, Joe McGee, has been grounded in produce his entire life. After spending his early childhood on a small family farm, he moved to Raleigh where his father went into the produce business. When Joe got a little older, he began working at the Farmer’s market in the early mornings, and driving delivery trucks in the afternoon. Early on, Joe enjoyed the relationships of the business. He would travel to Florida buying fruits and vegetables, bringing them back to Raleigh to sell locally.
In 1964, Joe founded L&M with his friend Bob Logan. Bob Logan moved on after the first year to open a retail nursery, but his “L” in L&M stuck around. Today we feel “L&M” stands for so much more. It stands for our values – respect, passion, leadership, and excellence.
After five decades of hard work and growth, we are still well grounded in the principles that started with Joe McGee – unyielding integrity and a dedication to long-term relationships.
