Our Story

THE BEGINNING

"We wanted to turn our passion for sustainable living into a positive impact on our community"

Like the intertwining of a live oak, a father’s passion for wine combined with his son’s love of agriculture, The Hope Farm came to life. Robert and Bentley Evans love their hometown of Fairhope and have long dreamed of providing their community a memorable gather space full of comfort and tranquility.

Robert and Bentley believe that the idea of knowing where your food comes from and feeling connected to the people that are producing it is something special. The Hope Farm is a father and son’s “fair hope” for a sustainable future.

Community

Fairhope is an idyllic coastal Alabama town with a close-knit community. The Hope Farm is passionate about collaboration, partnering with local breweries and purveyors and highlighting various local establishments in their food and beverage offerings.
