Coahoma County sprouts members of the Flowers family almost as numerous as the yellow-tops that flourish in the Delta's spring fields.  This well-known and highly respected farming family planted itself in Mississippi early in the century and has successfully farmed traditional row crops since that time, returning much to the community that they love through professional and civic labors.

Situated in the rolling hills of  North Mississippi, 75 miles southeast of Memphis and 160 miles north of Jackson, the town of Oxford is fast becoming one of the jewels of the state.
