February 2019
This Month’s Issue:
Our cover story this month highlights a Tarboro couple dedicated to baking fresh, locally sourced breads and pastries for their rural community. As they put it: “Real food made mostly from scratch nourishes a healthier, happier and more resilient future for the world.” Also, get the inside scoop on the Tryon 2018 World Equestrian Games in co-op territory (it was a big deal).
