Same family, same farmland, a century on

A lot has changed since the first crops went in at Elberta. The goal hasn't: keep Turning America Green.

  1. 1915

    The Woerner family begins farming in Elberta, Baldwin County, Alabama.

  2. 1970s

    Edward J. Woerner and Sons farms nearly 2,000 acres of produce, then tries grass. It works, and the land goes to sod.

  3. Growth

    Farms open in Louisiana, Florida (as Gulf Kist Sod) and Hawaii (as Southern Turf).

  4. Today

    Farms and landscape supply stores across the Gulf South, still family-owned and run from Foley.
