Noah Sanders is a farmer, homesteader, and author in Goodwater, Alabama. He is a passionate follower of Jesus who desires to know Him more and make disciples through his daily life. Together with his wife, Dorothy, and six children, Noah ran a small farming operation for 13 years producing and selling vegetables and poultry products using all-natural techniques based on the design of God in Creation. They now provide agricultural training to others and homestead and raise much of their own food.

Noah is the author of Born-Again Dirt: Farming to the Glory of God. In this book he attempts to encourage Christians to think about agriculture from a biblical worldview.  Noah is also the founder of the 'Well-Watered Garden Project', a community garden initiative that seeks to multiply simple gardens that can be used to teach sustainable food production and show the love of Jesus to the hurting. His vision is to see churches and families use agriculture as a way to bring blessing, health, and hope to their communities and the next generation.
