  Poppies International, Inc.
"Poppies searched numerous locations in the southeastern US before selecting Nash County to manufacture our fine pastries and cookies. We were impressed by the access to I-95 - we're a day away from New York, Canada and Florida. Local leaders were excellent and made us feel welcomed, supported and encouraged. We would do it again."
--Luc Kerkhof, Vice President
