The Sumralls

Tell us about your family.

We are Jeff (47) and Kimberly (34) Sumrall. Our children are James (7),

Morgan (5), both in school at Christ Covenant School in Ridgeland, and

Myers (3). Jeff, his brother, and his father, own Sumrall Farms, where they are

operators and producers of the land and crops. Jeff jokes that his hobby is

farming, and he enjoys sharing his passion for farming with his children. He

enjoys playing outside with them, whether it be playing sports or taking John

Deere Gator rides around the farm or going hunting. Jeff also enjoys working

on projects around the farm, like engineering and building gadgets that will

aid in the work they do around the farm. He also enjoys home improvement

projects, a recent example being a bathroom renovation in our farmhouse over

the first few months of the Covid quarantine in 2020. He can frequently be

seen with earbuds under his cap, listening to podcasts and an occasional book

while working.

Kimberly is a homemaker, and finds great joy in keeping their home

(mostly) clean and orderly. She maintains a sourdough starter and has made

sourdough bread for several years now, and it has earned the name “Mamma

Bread.” She is also a fan of podcasts and audiobooks, listening while she cleans

and cooks, but especially during her favorite hobby, sewing. She sews most of

the clothes her children wear to church and their dressy casual outfits, also

known to her children as “city clothes.” Kimberly says they look like ragamuffins

in their “farm clothes” though, and accepts any and all hand me downs for

that purpose. She turned this hobby into a (very) small business, Bushel and a

Peck Collection, that affords her the ability to sew and monogram for customers

on her own schedule. We also share some hobbies! We met at a gym and still
