Abstract:
The Gerber Company in Buncombe County is a good example of the kind of industry which stimulates benefits for people unfamiliar with the plant. Providing a handsome payroll for county residents, the factory is already using approximately 3,500 tons of North Carolina vegetables, and 3,000 tons of fruit. Packing from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 containers of baby food per week, Gerber furnishes employment to an average of 350 men and women from the Asheville and Hendersonville areas, with a payroll over $1,000,000 annually.

Abstract:
On November 16, 1959, the Gerber baby foods company established its third production plant in the United States, on a 45-acre site off Hendersonville Road in Asheville, employing several hundred people. For many years, the facility was an economic driver and gave liberally to community causes. Unfortunately, the Asheville plant closed in 1997 for a variety of unseen reasons. It is still fondly recalled by Asheville residents for its many contributions.
