My family and I love supporting local farms and their families! Living in North Carolina, we are so lucky to be surrounded by such an abundance. We feel that it is our duty to support local businesses, local families, and local farms whenever possible.

She has accumulated hours and hours of footage and is now working hard to put it all together to create a short documentary using their powerful stories. The words of these farmers say more than anything that I ever could. Check out the following short clip ...
