We’re excited to share that Travel + Leisure recently featured The Hope Farm in its essential guide to Fairhope, Alabama. Published on July 17, 2026, the article presents Fairhope as an affordable alternative to Florida’s 30A, celebrating the city’s coastal views, walkable downtown, natural beauty, local shopping, and chef-driven dining scene.

The guide describes Fairhope as a relaxed Gulf Coast destination where visitors can explore the Fairhope Municipal Pier, browse independently owned downtown boutiques, visit the Eastern Shore Art Center, and experience the wetlands and wildlife of Weeks Bay Reserve. The article also highlights the city’s flower-lined streets, waterfront parks, and memorable Mobile Bay sunsets.

In the guide’s section on where to eat and drink, travel advisor Jamie Tice names The Hope Farm as her favorite place to dine in Fairhope. She recommends the Rootimentary, our signature garden-to-glass cocktail made with beet-infused gin, alongside dishes showcasing the fresh, local ingredients available that day. The feature also recognizes The Hope Farm’s farm-to-table approach and James Beard-recognized beverage program.

We’re honored to be featured in a national travel guide that captures the warmth, creativity, and relaxed coastal character that make Fairhope so special. This recognition reflects the thoughtful hospitality, seasonal ingredients, and connection to the land that shape every experience at The Hope Farm.
