Personal experience and production goals summary:
My experience farming begins in my childhood. I was born and raised on a black angus cattle farm in Alleghany Co. which my family has farmed for over 100 years. My husband and I have fostered our love of farming and gardening wherever have made a home for us and our children over the years. We started a home and farm from scratch on land we were caretaking for our friends in Mitchell Co. There my husband built our home and we raised free range chickens, pigs, and a large herb and veggie garden. I have been teaching since 2001, for the past 6 years I've been teaching at Spruce Pine Montessori School. My husband is a frame to finish carpenter and custom cabinet/furniture maker. In the ideal world.....if we could find land with a home that we could live in with our children while working the land with option to buy.
