Today, we honor Robert Wilson Sanders Jr.—a man whose legacy runs deep through Okatee River Farms.
For our family, farming has never been just about the land. It is about the people who came before us, the lessons they taught us, the hard work they poured into these fields, and the responsibility we carry to keep it going for those who come after us.
Wilson was a meaningful part of that legacy. His love for this family, this land, and the farming life helped shape the reason we are still here today, continuing to do what our family has done for generations.
Every season we plant, every field we tend, and every day we choose to keep farming is, in part, a tribute to those who made it possible for us to be here.
We will miss Wilson deeply. But his legacy will continue to live on at this farm, in our family, and in the work we are blessed to carry forward. Rest in peace “Willie” August 30, 1941 - August 11, 2026 ❤️
