View of Hallmark Farm in 2002

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 property was developed by Ted and Mary Hallmark.

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
