Sam Beall

Sam The Legacy you left behind his beautiful, bLACKBERRY FARM has grown blackberry mountain has come to be and your family is growing and changing. I still see you in the dining room. Every time we visit Mary Celeste has done an amazing job you are missed but your legacy is huge. I still see that smile and that head of curls welcoming, hospitable and happy.

I was quite shock today when we heard the news. We only visited BBF once in 2012 and although we never met, you were like part of our family.

My heart aches for Mary Celeste, all of Sam's family, and the hundreds of people who knew and loved Sam. He was a kind, generous, loving soul who left this earth much too soon. Heaven has another angel.

My sincere condolences to all the Beall family and everyone at Blackberry Farm. I never had the pleasure of meeting Sam but have been coming to BF since the early '90s. Sam's magic is present in every inch of the farm and everyone who works there. It's been amazing to watch the changes and is my favorite place to be. Thank you Sam! God bless.

During our 7 visits thus far to Blackberry over the past 20 years, we watched Sam grow,as did his vision of it. His passion, hospitality and grace were unparalleled. We used to joke on our visits that Blackberry had employees hiding in the trees, as they always seemed to show up - and stay hidden, all at the right times.
May you have some small comfort that Sam met the very essence of what Blackberry is - he has planted so many seeds, both for a flourishing and loving family and for the...
