Today’s episode is his walk through the past 80 years of life, 40 years of creating and developing Selwood Farm, and his heart for family, life and relationships.
Today’s conversation is about the sweetness of growing up in smalltown Alabama and the vivid memories he has of neighborhood, high school, and community where everybody knew each other and supported each other. Dell shares about life as an entrepreneur — and how he’s poured his life and creativity into his 40 year business alongside his wife of 57 years. As owner of his business, Selwood Farm, (and still working daily!) an 800 acre property that has held the name Selwood since 1834, Dell is synonymous with this beautiful place he calls home. With more than 10,000 guests at the farm annually, the specialness is experienced by everyone who breathes its fresh air, enjoys meals in the country house, attends an outdoorsman event or experiences a world class quail hunt on the property.
