Scott’s Strawberry and Tomato Farms in Tennessee released some good news Friday, all 38 employees who tested positive for COVID-19 have made a full recovery.

The farm, its strawberry stands and its market have reopened.

“We’ve been farming for more than six decades... we take pride in our produce, and we are taking every precaution to keep our customers safe and give them an environment where they feel comfortable,” president of Scott’s Farm, Steve Scott, said in a statement to WCYB. “We’ve had an outpouring of support from our community and we’re so thankful for that.”

The farm is second-generation and run by Steve and his brother David. They took it over from their father, Wayne, who started it in 1959.

They raise strawberries, zucchini, yellow squash, onions and cucumbers.
