In 1919, agronomist E. B. Ferris, a Trinity, Alabama native and graduate of Mississippi A&M College (today Mississippi State University), purchased "Broadacres," which he described in an unpublished memoir as "a largely worn-out old farm." Eventually moving his family there, he worked over the following decades to improve the land. Under the stewardship of his son, Bill, and grandson, Grey, Ferris Farms grew to over 6,000 acres, 2,114 of which were donated to the Mississippi Land Trust as a conservation easement in 2001. The property contains a family cemetery.
