I didn't realize they were in Laurens.
We have several food related companies that call SC home. There's a canning company in Ninety-Six that makes the Cambridge and Star Fort brand hash. It was owned by a Mr. Craig, and old pro football Hall of Famer who lived on a farm out there. He sold it to a couple of guys before he died.
The Dukes mayo company is originally out of the Belton/Honea Path area. Or at least the family owns a very big farm there. They have some of the best dove shoots in the state each year. Getting an invite ain't easy. I had a friend that got to shoot there a couple of openers and he said it was unbelievable both times he shot. They serve a light lunch and during the shoot a man brings cold drinks around to the shooters in the field. After the shoot they have a big bbq. At least that's the way is was for many years. I don't know anyone who shoots there now so I don't know how they do the event.
Carolina Pride, mostly pork products are based in Greenwood and owned by the Barnet(sp?) family.
Blazer's Shrimp Dip was started by a friend of mines dad, Mr. Britt, at his restaurant on the lake called Blazers. He passed away a couple of years ago and now it belongs to his son, Bob. I've seen it in grocery stores all over SC and GA. I don't know exactly what the availability area is for it, I never thought to ask Bob how many states it was in.
I'm sure there are more that I don't know about.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
