My name is Ann Lee. My husband Parks and I own Breezy Point Farm, where he grew up. It is located in the community of Hamburg, Alabama about five miles south of Marion in the heart of the Black Belt. While our home is in Birmingham, we are at the farm most weekends and more during the growing season.

The first thing I want to say is that I am not an expert, but I do love to learn new things. And of course, trial and error helps.

Secondly, I want to say I don’t do all this work by myself! Parks is quite the Handy Dan. He has set up the in-ground, programmable irrigations systems for the garden and the orchard. He expertly drives the tractor to till my garden and clean up debris. He is a skilled carpenter and can also repair most things that are broken. He stays quite busy at the farm! When it’s time to plant our harvest, I hire students from Judson College and Marion Military Institute as well as local residents.

Breezy Point Farm has enabled me to do three things I enjoy - Learning, Growing and Sharing.
