Meet Butler Farms | 56 acres | Rutherford and Bedford County

Founded in 1880

by Mr. Joseph Butler and Mrs. Martha Lillard Butler                                                            Current Owner: Butler Family Group                                                                 Producer of Angus cattle, goats, and hay                                                                                                                         

Best Practices: Generating Returns + Estate Planning. When a highway was built in front of the farm, Mr. Oscar Butler leased some of his land to dig a rock quarry for supplies to build the highway. The unused stone was sold to enable the family to purchase more farmland.                                                                                                      

 Mr.  James Butler Jr. and his sisters, Mrs. Elaine Warren, Mrs. Emily Henry and Mrs. Euleda Faye, current owners of the farm, realized the importance of estate planning when their father, Mr. James Butler Sr., passed away and the future of the farm faced heirs’ property issues. Mr. James, Jr. purchased the shares of the other family members.
