Hallmark Farm is a 565-acre estate off of I-65 in Warrior which is known for its landscaped grounds and iconic red-roofed barn. The 565-acre property was developed by Ted and Mary Hallmark in 1976.
Ted Hallmark died in 2013 and the property remained vacant until it was acquired by the Hallmark Farms Cooperative, a joint initiative of Jefferson County and the City of Warrior, for $7.5 million in 2019. The cooperative plans a redevelopment of most of the site for light industrial, retail and office space. The home and barn itself were preserved, with the latter to be operated as an event facility.
Hallmark Farm was selected to host the Decorators' ShowHouse fund raiser for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra in 2020. Due to the COVID pandemic the event was delayed until 2022.
In 2022, Memphis-area Marshall Steakhouse is planning a $15 million addition to the Hallmark Farms property. The location will be one of several as the eatery and resort plans to expand across the Southeast. The steakhouse will include 9,000 square feet of restaurant space, a 7,000-square-foot retail store, as well as a 120-seat bar. It will also include a 100-space Class A RV park and 50 overnight cabins.
