Kendrick Farms Market

On Highway 31 North just outside downtown Prattville, Kendrick Farms Market keeps a working farm store stocked with pecans, preserves, and small-batch sauces made and sold under its own name. The store’s own site invites visitors plainly to come see the shop in person, a nod to the fact that this is a physical market first, with an online storefront built to extend its reach rather than replace the counter. The market’s address on Highway 31 North puts it along one of the main routes into Prattville from the north, making it a natural stop for anyone driving in from the Millbrook or Deatsville side of Autauga County.

The market’s full catalog runs to more than eighty items online, organized into collections that range from pickles, salsas, and dips to cookies and crackers, candy and sweets, and a selection of Amish wedding products, giving the Highway 31 storefront a pantry depth that goes well beyond the pecans and preserves it is best known for.

Pecans are the anchor of the business, sold whole and as pieces, with a pound of whole pecans typically priced at 13.99 dollars and pecan pieces at 12.49 dollars, and the market rounds out its shelves with fig preserves and whole fig preserves made in small batches, priced around 9.50 dollars and 8.99 dollars respectively. Alongside the fruit spreads sit a bacon bourbon barbecue sauce and a sweet bourbon glaze, both under nine dollars and both examples of the kind of Southern pantry staples that tend to sell out around the holidays.

Beyond the core lineup, Kendrick Farms Market builds custom gift baskets, letting a customer pick and choose items to assemble something suited to a specific person rather than settling for a preset box. The preserve case extends beyond figs to include pear preserves and a seasonal holiday jam, and the market also carries collections built around cookies and crackers, candy and sweets, and Amish wedding products, giving shoppers a mix of shelf-stable goods that travel well as gifts or hostess presents. A separate collection labeled simply as other products in the store rounds out the shelves with additional pantry items, so a single visit or a single online order can cover a whole list of small gifts rather than requiring several stops around town.

That gift-basket focus fits naturally with the market’s location just off the highway corridor north of town, where a quick stop can turn into leaving with a bag of pecans for snacking and a jar of preserves for a friend. The pecan and preserve combination in particular reflects the kind of small Alabama farm-market tradition that has quietly persisted even as bigger grocery chains have moved into Prattville over the past two decades.

The market operates its own online store as well, so customers who cannot make it out to Highway 31 can order pecans, sauces, and preserves for shipping, or build a gift basket remotely and have it sent directly to the recipient. Because the online catalog spans more than a dozen pages of products, browsing from home ahead of a visit is a reasonable way to see what is currently in stock before making the drive. For anyone driving through Prattville looking for a genuinely local pantry gift rather than something picked up at a big-box register, Kendrick Farms Market offers a straightforward option: products made close to home, sold by the people who make them, with the option to walk in the door or order online depending on what fits the trip.

Because inventory here depends on the season, particularly with fresh figs and pecans tied to harvest timing, calling ahead before a special-occasion visit is a reasonable step for anyone hoping to find a specific item in stock, and the market’s practice of marking sold-out items directly on its own site makes it easy to check availability before committing to the trip.
