Eddie Wilson remembered for helping men rebuild their lives at Foundry Farm

In its remembrance of the farm’s director, the North Alabama Agriplex said it would make sure those seeds reached their destination. “We will make sure those seeds make it to The Foundry so they can keep growing on the foundations that Eddie started,” the organization said. Eddie Dale Wilson, 62, of Hartselle, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Oct. 28, according to his obituary.

He began with chickens and a small garden, then enrolled in a small-farm class at Wallace State Community College, according to the Agriplex. He
