Mark and Lauren moved to NC from Philadelphia in 2016 to start their farming adventure. They attended the Living Web Farm Internship for 6 months in Mills River, NC where they learned everything from growing tomatoes to butchering chickens. They now have a 5 acre farm, and a 4 year old, in Fruitland, NC, just down the street from Justus Orchard, with a high tunnel greenhouse, outdoor garden, fruit trees, flowers, laying hens, meat chickens, pigs and bees!
