@christina-cooke.bsky.social I loved your article in Bitter Southerner mag! It was a compelling story of Patrick Brown’s purchasing the plantation in NC that his ancestors were enslaved on. I loved that he is pioneering regenerative ag, industrial hemp production and more! I want to visit the farm!
