February 2020

This Month’s Issue:

Our cover story this month is on a ubiquitous commodity, but one that you may not think could come from our own shores: salt. Also, February is Black History Month, and we’re pleased to highlight important cultural stops along North Carolina’s portion of the Civil Rights Trail, as well as an African American entrepreneur who is working to empower farmers in Eastern NC.

—Scott Gates, editor
