Company Description:

Maymead is a family of companies which grew up out of family farming operations. One story says the name "Maymead" comes from a train stop called "May's Meadow" which was in fact a train stop on the farm property. How and why "May's Meadow" got concatenated and truncated is anyone's guess. The term "Maymead" is also a type of soil found in northwestern North Carolina and northeastern Tennessee and the origins of this term are also unknown.
