As tobacco use declines, production of other crops continues to increase. A number of orchards are now producing grapes to be used in winemaking, and the first winery opened in 2000. Highway infrastructure later allowed growth to take place and now Yadkin County has a healthy mix of manufacturing operations. Unifi, Inc., is the county's largest firm, with over 1900 manufacturing employees, followed by Sara Lee with 411. Plastics, metalworking, insulation for the automotive industry, and furniture add to the manufacturing base of textiles. In 1993, the Phillips-Van Heusen Apparel Group completed a 440,000 square foot "state of the art" distribution facility in Yadkin County to create further diversity for employees, and Unifi, Inc. began operation of a yarn spinning facility just outside Yadkinville in 1998. Blue Rhino Corporation completed construction of a facility to refurbish and refill propane cylinders in the Hamptonville area in 2000. Two major four-lane highways, I-77 and US 421, take commuters to other nearby employment areas. Continuing county improvements to schools, a partnership between Yadkin's Hoots Memorial Hospital and North Carolina Baptist Hospital, and growing industrial economy points toward increases in population and employee opportunities in the coming years
