We are so blessed to be able to farm together as a family, but we are also blessed to be surrounded by extended family and friends. Farming is a very social craft and flourishes best when done in the context of a community. During this time of adjustment surrounding the birth of our new twin boys it has been amazing to see how many people have stepped in to help out, whether they are watching our other kids, bringing us meals, washing dishes, harvesting green beans, feeding chickens, or delivering farm boxes. This used to be the normal experience for many people, but in this current time the suicide epidemic among commercial farmers can be linked to the disappearance of their support community. Thank you for being part of our support community and may we all inspire others to stand together and support their family and neighbors in these troubling times.

Farming is Not a Solo Sport
About the farm
Rora Valley Farms is located in beautiful rural Coosa County, Alabama and is owned and operated by the Sanders Family and was established in 2009. Currently my wife Dorothy and I (Noah) oversee the vegetable and bakery operations while my cousin Luke Sanders and his wife Kristin oversee the meat and egg production. Our kids help out as well! Here at Rora Valley Farms we strive to produce real food. Many industrial foods today put on a good show, but fail to provide our bodies with the nutrients we need to function properly. When God designed our bodies, He also designed amazing foods to fuel them. But most industrial foods have strayed from that original design, and we have reaped the consequences. Through building healthy, living soil and utilizing natural systems of production and management we strive to harvest food that feeds our bodies, as well as our taste buds.
