When Marissa and her husband, James, had a baby girl, Marissa said, “Let’s teach Ellie why being connected to the earth is important. Let’s find our own little space.” So they did. A two-acre plot of land led to a barn, which led to chickens and pigs.
“I wanted to change how we got our food,” says Marissa. “It’s important to know where our food comes from.”
Six years later, that two-acre plot has become a 40-acre farm in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
