Campbells Recognized As Santa Rosa Farm Family Of The Year
July 22, 2013
The Keith Campbell family of Chumuckla was honored as the Santa Rosa County Outstanding Farm Family of the Year.
The Campbell farm includes 1,300 acres of cotton, peanuts, wheat, 60 head of beef cattle and an apiary for honey production. The Campbell’s pride themselves on maintaining a family-run, community supported farm that stays on the cutting edge of agricultural progress to reduce costs while increasing total crop yield.
They have embraced numerous technological advancements over the years that have allowed the Campbell farm to thrive and become a mainstay in the Northwest Florida farming community.
In addition to Keith’s wife, Robynn, several other members of the family contribute to the overall success of the farm, including their daughters, Ashleigh, a teacher at Bennett C. Russell Elementary School and Brittney, a student at the University of West Florida; their nephew, Dale Campbell, who helps out after school; and Ashleigh’s husband, Adam Bondurant, a senior at the University of West Florida.
Keith Campbell is a sixth generation farmer. He began farming with his grandfather, W.T. Stewart, in 1983 and has since taken over the entire operation.
The Campbell’s were recognized last week in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congressman Jeff Miller. “My wife Vicki and I wish the Campbell family all the best as they continue to serve the citizens of Northwest Florida,” Miller said.

I do not know the Campbells, but would like to congratulate them for their efforts.
That gentleman on the right in the blue shirt, you can look at him and tell that he is no armchair farmer.
