I almost broke a sweat working this morning in the garden, but this time last week was cold! Unfortunately, having weather that cold after a long spell of warm weather was too much for many of our early spring crops, even under frost blankets. We lost most of the broccoli plants, cauliflower, beets, and cabbage. But the nice thing is . . . we can try again! So today I am working on getting everything re-planted and hopefully we will still be able to have all those nice crops, but just a bit later than we were anticipating. That's farming! We will be overflowing with summer abundance before we blink an eye. Thanks for all your support and for understanding!

Killer Cold!
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.
