Jones Valley

Head south from Downtown Huntsville, take a left to climb the hill that intersects Whitesburg Drive and Airport Road and you’ll be stunned at what you see: the beautiful, rolling hills of Jones Valley. A sweeping landscape dotted with grazing cows will greet you, along with beautiful homes built into the hillside and the majesty of the Cumberland Plateau on the horizon.

A Family Tradition

The Jones Valley area grew out of the sprawling farmlands of the storied Jones family, who saw the value in planting Kentucky grass on 2,500 acres of former cotton fields and making the property perfect grazing land for cattle. Although much of the land has been developed into residential and retail space, Jones Farm is still in business today and is considered the largest working urban farm in the U.S. Thanks to several schools and community centers, Jones Valley still has a strong sense of family. You’ll find all generations smiling here.
