One of the great traditions of the Southern mountains is successful farming, both to sustain the family unit and to earn much-needed cash to pay property taxes and income taxes. Southern mountaineers, including those in Western North Carolina, knew how to care for the land and for growing things before it became a fashionable "environmental" thing to do.
Bluegrass band White Rock Revival, whose members hail from music-rich Madison County, will do double duty on May 5 as they play for us in addition to sharing descriptions and stories of farm life from first-hand experience.
This event is FREE and open to the public.
