Our Story

We are so glad you stopped by!

We are Robert and Maegen Benford. Ryle, Rhett, and Grant are our little farm hands, along with their side kick Mabel. Our location might seem a bit attractive to some people, we are about 30 mins north of the white sandy beaches in Foley, Alabama. The beach is not where we spend much of our time. You can find us on the farm growing our animals and making memories with our boys. This is our story of how we became a small family farm and business.

Rob grew up down at those sandy beaches, in a neighborhood surrounded by family. I grew up on a farm, where my parents grow hay and raise cows. We knew once we started to grow our family we wanted a different way of life. God played an immense role in finding our property and shaping up our dreams to have a farm. 
​
Meal planning was all up to me. As I watched what my children were eating, I began to question where our food was coming from, and more specifically, where our meat comes from. I came across a video of a family processing chickens in their backyard. I showed it to Rob and said, "We can do this!"

As we started to provide for our own family, we wanted to provide for others. We wanted other families to have the same peace of mind about what they are eating. Shortly after that Purely Pastured Farm was born.
