Farm Happenings at Rora Valley Farms
Teaching New Farmers
This past weekend we hosted a training for other farmers and gardeners here on our farm. I feel like it is important to share some of the things we have learned over the years with others who are just starting out.
While Micah was delivering your bags I was teaching a group of students about soil s1 read more »
New Grow Tunnels for Winter Production!
Yesterday was my 31st birthday and my Dad and brothers spent the day helping me build two new grow tunnels in the garden. They are each 14'x40' and in all will more than double our winter growing space! I am so excited and am looking forward to some beautiful winter vegetables! Many thanks to my fa1 read more »
Welcome Micah! Our new farm worker. Refer a friend and help us grow!
As we have been trying to improve our farm production and diversity of offerings this year we have invested a lot in infrastructure. Irrigation, a new walk-in-cooler, two new tunnels for winter production (they are due to be delivered tomorrow!), and a great washing station. But the one thing I hav1 read more »
All Natural Bug Control!
Bugs can definitely be an issue in the vegetable garden. One of the insects we struggle with is horn worms on tomato plants. Moths come and lay their eggs on the leaves of the tomato plant and their voracious young decimate the greenery of the tomato plant. But God's creation is about balance and t1 read more »
Looking Forward to Cooler Weather!
Right now it is hot, but we are working hard to get our cool weather crops in the ground. Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, collards and more! If we can protect them from the bugs and heat fall crops in Alabama are awesome! And many of them overwinter and become some of the sweetest greens a1 read more »

We Need More Farmers
I am so blessed to be your farmer. It is a real privilege to get to work with my family as we heal the land and grow healthy food for friends like you. I know that I often take for granted the blessing of what I get to do every day.

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.
