Continuing a legacy of capability, innovation, and scalability

Now in its fifth generation of family ownership and operation in North Alabama, Bridgeforth Farms began in the years immediately following the Civil War with the grit and resilience of George Bridgeforth, a former slave who persevered to buy and farm his land. Each generation since has built upon that legacy to grow the enterprise to impact the health and lives of others positively.
