Bakersville, North Carolina, United States
An artist turned farmer
After leaving a job in art education, I wanted to do something equally as satisfying as facilitating people's artistic passions. I'd moved to North Carolina for that job, but loved my community and environment too much to leave. I've been gardening for most of my adult life. Having my hands in the dirt, watching beautiful things flourish, and the swell of pride that comes from growing good food seemed like a direction that would benefit my community and myself. I've never been happier!
