Welcome to Grand Oaks Farm

Welcome to Grand Oaks Farm! We are the Groff family, and we are looking forward to sharing this beautiful place we call home with you. Our family left the big city and bought a turn-of-the-century farmhouse on 24 acres atop Sand Mountain in Dekalb County, Alabama. We quickly fell in love with the rolling pastures, endearing wildlife, and gorgeous grand oak trees. We felt God leading us to share this amazing place so others could have a place to relax and enjoy the beauty God's created at Grand Oaks Farm.

Without delay, we hand-tilled a mile of earth for planting lavender in June 2021 and quickly got to planting. We now have three different lavender gardens around the farm for the community to enjoy and look forward to having lavender syrup, honey and other specialty treats available from the farm too!

In addition to creating a special place for people to visit on the farm, we have also written a collection of children's stories featuring each of the woodland creatures we have encountered at Grand Oaks.

We look forward to meeting you here on the farm! Check out our Events page for all the happenings. Thank you for following along with us on this new adventure!
