“I’ve been in the blueberry industry in some capacity for over 32 years and done about every job there is in blueberries. I’ve been called the “Blueberry Man” and I like that description of myself. I’m proud of the Superior product we produce and it’s my passion to put a “Superior Berry in every mouth in the south…and beyond!” My wife Beverly and I have three children and proudly reside in Homerville, GA.”

David Infinger,
Harvest Logistics Manager
Since 1981
“I’m the old man of the group. I cut fence posts in high school on this land. As a steward of this land, you worry when it’s dry because of fires, and rain brings challenges getting the timber out. If it doesn’t hit the highway, we don’t get paid. It’s what we call life in the flatwoods… never a dull moment.”
Bill Tomlinson, Heavy Equipment Operator/Forest Protection
Since 2021
“I am the new guy here at Superior Pine. I was hired to help maintain the roads and to provide fire protection, if we have a wildfire. The Suwannee Forest here in Fargo is a great place to meet new friends and earn a good living.”
Hardy “Bryant” Johnson III,
Harvest Logistics Supervisor & Fire Boss
Since 2004
“Folks call me Bryant. My family has lived in Fargo, GA for three generations. I love this forest and having a hand in what the forest will be like when I’m gone. It is my desire that my children and grandchildren will be able to carry on the special legacy of this land and Superior Pine.”
Fun Fact About “Bryant”: Won GA State FFA Field Day in 1976
Tyler Holmes, Lease Manager & Utility Forester
Since 2017
“The employees here are great all around people and I believe they are the reason this company is so great! I manage hunting leases for the land and cruise the inventory of our trees. We may be smaller, but we compete on a large scale because of this land and the people who care for it.”
Jerry Altman, Silviculture Manager
Since 2005
“My family has made a living off of Superior Pine’s forests for three generations. The owners of this land have always cared about the land and their employees, therefore making it a sustainable resource for generations.”
Fun Fact of 2019: Jerry’s team planted 4 million baby trees on 7,000 acres of Superior land.
