Boutwell Farms provides local families with high quality food
using sustainable agricultural practices. Sustainable means that we use natural, replenishable resources
that improve the environment in order to grow healthier food. Building a better environment
requires respect for the seasons and cycles of our area, the character of our soils, the personalities of
native plant varieties and the traits of animals adapted to our region.
The food we grow nourishes
our bodies. To build a family in the midst of nature's story nourishes our souls. Today
almost 70% of our population lives in urban areas. This keeps our urban neighbors too far from the lessons that
come only through the sounds, smells, temperatures and slowly unfolding stories of the plants and animals around us. Become
a part of the Boutwell Farm Community and let us share these stories with you.
Did
you know that Alabama is giving away a $4,000,000,000 industry by not building a local food economy? Alabama
is going to eat. We are spending that money now but sending it somewhere else. Growing a local food economy would
create jobs and strengthen jobs that we already have. Building a local food economy benefits all of us. Join the
Boutwell Farm Community to see how you can be a part of fixing that.
