The Team

What began, as Kreis Beall likes to say, with “three and a half team members” — Sandy, Kreis, their young son Sam and one dedicated team member, John Coffey — has grown into a community of more than 1,200 team members across the Blackberry properties.

From artisans like chefs, cheesemakers, master gardeners, preservationists and beekeepers to sommeliers, yoga instructors, interior designers, accountants and hospitality professionals across vocations, each role is essential to creating an experience that feels authentic to this region and defined by Blackberry’s legendary hospitality.

Supported by the Beall family and led by Blackberry President Matt Alexander alongside a tenured and diverse group of senior leadership and management, the Blackberry team is guided with creativity, compassion and uncompromising standards of quality, carrying forward the family’s tradition of service while continually shaping what comes next.

Every team member leaves their own mark on the story of Blackberry and brings their own reason for being here. Throughout this anniversary year, we invite you to enjoy stories and videos of team members sharing their “Blackberry Why" — the purpose, pride and passion that bring them to this place each day and the surprising stories in between.

Across the Farm and beyond, chefs and gardeners, guest services and concierge, housekeeping, retail, operations and maintenance teams work in quiet harmony to create and celebrate a unique sense of place. Every role matters. Every person contributes. And together, they ensure the spirit of Blackberry Farm endures — now and for generations to come.
