Ferrell Farms is a story of generations working the same soil. It began with Joseph F. Ferrell, who settled in Alabama in the 1880s. Some of the fields he farmed over a century ago are still part of the family\u2019s operation today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elmer Ferrell built on that foundation, raising his family on the 40-acre \u201cHomeplace\u201d pasture, a patch of land that remains at the heart of the farm. Today, Jerry and Joel carry on that tradition, tending cattle on pastures between Holly Pond and Walter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farm grew with the joining of families. When Jerry Ferrell married Janet Mann, the Mann-Ferrell Farm became part of the operation, now home to Jeremy\u2019s grazing herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Ferrell Farms encompasses more than 250 acres and leases an additional 100 acres, supporting over 100 head of cattle. Through every pasture and every herd, the farm continues a legacy of stewardship, family, and connection to the land that has lasted for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
