Did you know?
Baldwin County’s history is rooted in agriculture. Settlers moved from all over the United States and from other countries to farm the rich soil, and generations later, their descendants are still raising families here. But many of the farms have been sold, and subdivisions have replaced them. Nevertheless, you still don’t have to look far to find acres of farmland set aside to produce commodities like corn, soybeans, beef cattle, peanuts and cotton, and farmers markets.
