Woerner Turf - Bon Secour

1915 when the Woerner Family settled in the small German town of Elberta, AL and began farming. One of the children of that family Edward James Woerner married Lillie Louise and began farming agriculture commodities. Together Edward and Lillie had six sons and two daughters.

As the sons grew older, Edward formed the corporation Edward J. Woerner and Sons, Inc. with the purpose of selling agriculture for a living. By the mid 1970’s the farm was continuing to grow by operating on almost 2000 acres of produce such as sweet corn, grain, sweet potatoes, watermelons, soybeans, wheat and Irish potatoes.
