History

We have cattle grazing in the same pastures as AJ’s great-grandfather. Sometimes while feeding, we look around and wonder what it looked like back then. Times sure are changing, but our family’s roots in agriculture aren’t. AJ was raised in the Northwest corner of Brunswick county, in a little city without a zip code called ‘Northwest’. AJ is a fifth-generation farmer with a passion for agriculture. After college, she met her husband Wade, who is also a fifth-generation farmer from a neighboring county. Together, they are raising cattle, crops, and kids in their favorite part of the world: Southeastern North Carolina.

 

Cattle

Our family cattle history goes back to AJ’s great-grandfather who raised cattle along the Cape Fear River, selling whole carcasses to the local general store. Before anyone had a way to keep things cold at home, general stores had ice block rooms, and would store fresh meats for the community to buy.

 

Know Your Farmer

In today’s time, when everyone either loves or hates social media, we find ourselves grateful that it has given us a place to share our farm life. As young farmers and ranchers, it is our job to try and educate our peers on how we raise the crops to clothe and feed the world. We hope that by following along on our social media, you can feel like you’re part of our farm family. Join us in North Carolina where the weather is always changing, and follow along as we plant, grow, and harvest all our crops and cattle.
