Who We Are
Our Mission
Cultivating a community passionate about preserving our agricultural heritage, educating and feeding our neighbors, and growing a sustainable future!
Over a decade ago, community leaders and members of the Cullman Chamber of Commerce Agriculture Committee had a vision of a facility that would showcase the importance of agriculture to future generations. In 2000, the Alabama Legislature established the North Alabama Agriplex Board. Its purpose is to educate and create awareness of agriculture in Alabama.
