The Dee River Ranch is a family-operated farm dedicated to land conservation and environmentally friendly farming techniques. Following the Hurricane Katrina fuel shortages, the ranch began using crops they were harvesting to make their own biodiesel to fuel their equipment.
Why? They have partnered with the University of Alabama, inviting students to the ranch for learning opportunities. Local schools attend educational exhibits featuring various aspects of farm life. Dee River Ranch also hosts field days each year to update other area farmers on the latest technological advances and farming techniques.
