  Bone Suckin'
The origins of the business were rooted in the first produce house at the old city market of Raleigh in 1946.
The present owners, Lynn and Sandi Ford, came into the family business in 1973 and expanded the business in 1986 by creating “Ford’s Fancy Fruits & Gourmet Foods,” which sold fruit baskets with NC peanuts, later expanding to open 2 retail stores carrying more than 300 NC gourmet food items from around the State.
In 1992 they joined forces with a brother-in-law, Phillip Ford, who improved his mother’s recipe for barbeque sauce, and created an all natural, tomato based sauce sweetened with honey and molasses.
