ABOUT LADONNA

My Life as a farmer's wife and business owner

My name is LaDonna LaValle, and I’m a farmer’s wife, mama, business owner, community supporter, and storyteller from Perry, Florida.

Beyond Perryland is my place to share the stories that make up my life. Some are funny, some are heartfelt, and some come from lessons I had to learn the hard way. You’ll find stories about family, faith, small-town life, business, community, and all the unexpected moments in between.

I don’t have it all figured out, and I’m certainly not here to tell anyone how to live. I’m simply sharing life as I see it, one story at a time.

So pull up a chair, stay awhile, and let’s see where the story takes us.

farmer's wife and business owner

Beyond Perryland is where I share the stories that make up my life. I’m a farmer’s wife, mama, business owner, community supporter, and lifelong resident of Perry, Florida. My days are often busy, a little messy, and rarely go exactly as planned, but they usually leave me with a story worth telling.

Here you’ll find memories from growing up, honest reflections on faith and family, glimpses of small-town and farm life, favorite recipes, business adventures, travel stories from places near and far, and plenty of funny moments from everyday life. Some stories may make you laugh, while others may make you pause and remember a story of your own.

I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not here to pretend that I do. Beyond Perryland is simply a place to share life as I see it, one story at a time. So pull up a chair, stay awhile, and let’s see where the story takes us.
