​This land has been farmed since 1807, when the first Elder family member, David,

 

moved to Georgia from Virginia.

We started Little Rose Organics in 2015 after receiving an NRCS grant

for our High Tunnel Hoop House.

 

We’re proud to be ongoing farm partners with the University of Georgia’s Capstone Program, where we’ve applied many ideas for sustainable improvements.

 

Since 2010, we’ve been sharing our love of farming and nature with local children through our cherished Little Rose Nature Adventures and local High School Students through a collaboration with Beta Club and FFA.

 

From our first small vegetable garden in 1993, we’ve grown into a working farm that sells fresh vegetables to local restaurants and friends. Recently, we converted our greenhouse to be 90% hydroponic—a game changer for production, education, and income. Now we can offer local, organically grown, perfectly clean lettuce all year round,

going from tower to bag in moments without washing.

 

In the past, lettuce in Georgia had only a five-month growing season due to heat and the extra work of removing soil and controlling pests. Enjoy these photos of some of our favorite farm and Nature Adventures moments!
