Dorfus Young Jr. grins at the camera before heading back to work: a mix of working vigorously on the computer and getting his hands and feet in the dirt. 

Not to be confused with his dad, Dorfus Jr. serves as the farm manager and chief marketer of Young Family Farm. Understanding the beauty of their family farm, Dorfus has worked to market the farm and bring their famous wine closer to the community. Since stepping up to support his parents, universities like Brown University and the University of Mississippi regularly schedule visits with students and professors. More and more people are booking their event space for family reunions, wine tastings, camps, and more.

Special Thanks to Higher Purpose Co., MS Delta Council for Farm Worker Opportunities, and others for elevating the Young Family Farm’s work while supporting efforts to connect their produce and products to markets.
