established in 1876
Legacy Acres has been a part of our family for over 140 years. The property has been used to raise cattle, hogs and timber as well as growing corn, hay, peanuts, cotton and soybeans.
It all started with Coleman Strength, our great grandfather. Seeing an opportunity, he purchased 320 acres from Henry Morningstar on August 30, 1876. Since then we have worked hard to keep the land in our family from one generation to the next by farming and selling timber. In 2013, Legacy Acres was designated as an Alabama Century and Heritage Farm by the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industry.
We realized that our family wasn't going to take up the trade of farming when both children went off to become engineers. With that in mind, we wanted to leave a lasting legacy for them to come back and visit. Legacy Acres was born from that. We wanted to provide a place for not only events but learning for children and adults alike. By providing a real "farm experience" we hope to encourage people to start their own farms, get outside and learn more about their own environment. 2016 is our inaugural year in this business, but we are working to provide a quality experience for all that come to our farm.
We look forward to being a part of your legacy!
