What started as a family garden is now the first neighborhood market in Fountain Heights in almost 70 years. Fountain Heights Farms transforms vacant lots into fresh food and community.

We couldn't be more proud to profile founders Dominique and Chris as part of our work highlighting the importance of preserving and building legacy businesses in Birmingham. In this video they tell the story of Fountain Heights Farms and their take on the true meaning of cooperative ownership.

Chris was a participant in our last set of Focus Groups discussing preserving the legacy of small businesses in Birmingham. Are you a business owner with 3 or more employees who wants to join our next round tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon? RSVP here: https://www.alceo.org/legacy

To get Fountain Heights Farms produce delivered to your door, you can sign up for their CSA here: https://www.wealleatcsa.com/

It's the first CSA in Alabama history to accept EBT.

Last Friday was our local legacy conference at Sloss Furnaces. We had over 50 attendees and speakers from all over the country who came to Birmingham to talk about how to keep our small businesses local through exit planning and employee ownership.

Special thanks to our featured sponsor Maynard Nexsen and the business owners who came to teach and learn about how to build wealth in Birmingham and keep our legacy local.

Meet our Friday keynote speaker! 👋

Gina Schaefer grew one hardware store into 13 locations and 300+ employees — then handed ownership to the people who built it with her. She'll share the real story: the culture, the succession plan, and why employee ownership was the right call.
