As a young boy I had a vegetable stand at the top of my driveway. It’s no surprise that today I sell my products in two local farmers markets. My hobby is breeding and showing registered cows at a local and national level. This hobby seems to be contagious among my children. Dennet and Lilly recently purcha

Siler City

We didn't grow up on farms. Ten years ago, we were just city people who didn't know anything about where food came from, or why it mattered. In fact, when friends proposed the idea of moving out of the city and finding land, we thought it was preposterous. But, after some thought, we decided to give it a try. We began by volunteering on a vegetable garden a few times a week. From there, we received an opportunity to rent a house on that farm.
