Fairhope Dairy is the recipient of the Outstanding Farmer of the Year for the State of Alabama and Area VI Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). Justin House, Area President, presented the award to Tobin and Eric Street, brothers and co-owners, during the Annual SWCDs Meeting on Sept. 15, 2022 in Monroeville, Alabama.

Fairhope Dairy has implemented farming practices pertaining to sound conservation on the land they farm. Large portions of their farmed acres are classified as "highly erodible", but due to Beach Management Practices being adopted and implemented over several years by Tobin and Eric Street, the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service has not witnessed any erosion on these fields.

Use of cover crops, crop rotation, minimum and no-till, help Fairhope Dairy maintain the high level of conservation that is expected of today's farmers operating in environmentally sensitive areas such as the Eastern Shore area of Baldwin County. In addition, this operation utilized the latest technology to sample and apply nutrients by grid-sampling their fields and precision applying nutrients with equipment capable of variable-rate application technology.

The majority of lands farmed by Fairhope Dairy occur in areas of the county experiencing major development, but this operation has adapted to the higher standards expected by environmentalist and property owners that have moved to the area that are not accustomed to having farm fields join their property

In 2021, Tobin and Eric Street figured prominently in a video created to showcase the findings of a District-supported feasibility study on regional detention of the uplands of Magnolia Rivers to reduce future flooding.
