The Beebe Farm is a
fourth generation family
farm located near Mobile, Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico in the rolling
hills of north Baldwin County, Alabama. The farm consists of over 1100 acres
of pasture, pine forests, and wetlands, connected with
many miles of trail.
We are striving to preserve this landscape and use the land for agriculture,
education and recreation.
Along the way, we hope to share our farm life and outdoor experiences with
friends and visitors. The natural beauty of the southern pine forests,
swamps, rivers and coast is impressive. Please come visit someday and
experience this wonderful setting.
William Craig Beebe (1890 - 1959) was an attorney and state legislator from Bay Minette, Alabama.
Mr. Beebe moved to Bay Minette in 1915 soon after graduating from the University of Alabama Law School.
Although early French, Spanish and British colonists had settled the area around Mobile, Alabama,
those pioneers stayed mainly along the coast and navigable rivers.
Thus Bay Minette was a young city in the early part of the 20th century,
when Billy Beebe first started his law practice. As did many established
southerners of that period, Mr. Beebe acquired land as he became more
prosperous. The Beebe Farm is still owned by the same family today.
The present owners are the grandchildren of Mr. Beebe.
We can accommodate any age group for an educational and recreational
farm tour
