Triple E Farm and Priester's Pecans Named Alabama's 2020 Farm Of Distinction
A Lowndes County beef, poultry and pecan operation was named Alabama’s Farm of Distinction during the recent Alabama Farm-City Awards. Thomas and Melissa Ellis of Triple E Farm and Priester’s Pecans Inc. received more than $15,000 in prizes and will represent Alabama in the Swisher Sweets/Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year contest during the Sunbelt Ag Expo in October.
Triple E Farm began in 1981 when Thomas bought part of a commercial beef herd from the widow of a respected cattleman. Two years later, he and Melissa built their first poultry houses.
Today, the operation spans 1,000 acres and includes a 50-cow beef herd; 1,000 head of stocker cattle annually; and three poultry houses producing almost 400,000 chickens a year. Meanwhile, Priester’s Pecans cracks, shells and processes more than 1.5 million pounds of gift-quality nuts a year and produces candy, baked goods and snacks, which are marketed through retail stores, a website, fundraisers and wholesale agreements.
