*VENDOR SPOTLIGHT*
HORTON’S FARM
Horton’s Farm was born from a deep desire to live simply and sustainably, and to help others in their quest to do the same. We have grown into a green  family owned business in sunny south Alabama. Unique creations from honest ingredients for real people – that is what we do and that is who we are. No generic agribusiness factory here – just beehives, herbs, flowers, vegetables, chickens, horses, pets and  the occasional dirt eating kid.  Our tasty, beautiful and healthful items reflect our core values of  excellence, sustainable living, education and simplicity.  All products  originate from our chemical free beehives and/or sustainable gardens, and each small batch artisinal product is made with great care to help you live life to its fullest.
The farm started when “Mama Roz” as some call her, started keeping honeybees fifteen years ago. Mama Roz has gone on to become a Master Beekeeper and is currently a board member of the Alabama Beekeepers Association. While all this was going on, the Mr. at the farm developed methods to successfully cultivate and produce the raspberries and rhubarb he missed from his childhood in Oregon. Sustainable fruit, berry and some vegetable production is now a standard part of the farm operation.
