Clark and Suzy Neal with Unicoi Preserves

Suzy and Clark Neal are the dynamic duo behind Unicoi Preserves and great home cooks who enjoy creating original and approachable family recipes with ingredients from their local Ingles in Cleveland, Georgia. The Neals are community volunteers at Yonah Preserve Trails and enjoying mountain biking, hiking and spoiling their retired racing greyhound, Fox.

Over the past few years, the couple have thrown their hats into the competitive culinary arena, winning first place and people’s choice in the amateur division at the Jekyll Island Shrimp & Grits Festival, finishing 6 the in Chili at the World Food Championship and in 2019, Suzy was chosen to compete at The National Festival of Breads. Regardless of what they’ve got cooking or where they travel to compete, Suzy and Clark depend on quality Laura Lynn products to give their recipes The Ingles Advantage.
