Auburn Grads Chosen as Alabama’s Outstanding Young Farm Family
Chris and Monica Carroll, both Auburn University graduates, were recently selected as the 2007 Outstanding Young Farm Family of Alabama. The couple was selected at the Alabama Farmers Federation’s 86th Annual Meeting, which was held in December.
The Carroll’s own and operate a family farm that includes poultry, cattle, vegetables, and timber. In the fall, the Carroll’s are more famously known for their pumpkin patch and corn maze. Over 3,000 children of all ages visited the farm last year!
The Carroll’s have two children, Brittney, 7, and Blake, 6.
A unique quality that made the Carroll’s stand out from other farmers eligible for the award was the inspiration that they provide to others. Farming is very important to this family, but respecting and treating others in a kind manner is made evident in their day-to-day activities.
Listen in on my conversation with the Carroll’s as they talk about their farm and being chosen as the Outstanding Young Farm Family of Alabama.
