Eugene "Devane" Ritter

Born and raised right here in Echols county, Devane has spent his entire life on this farm. He has been farming this land since he was a young boy. He made the change to growing fresh vegetables almost 30 years ago. His wife Mary Lou and him started Little River Produce in 2003. They have watched it grow and develop into a leading producer of fruits and vegetables in South Georgia. After over 60 years of farming, Devane still has a passion for working on the farm and growing some of the best produce in the area.
