More Tomato Man Lessons

We just watched Craig LeHoullier’s episode of “Growing a Greener World” and were mesmerized!

(“Lessons from the ‘NC Tomato Man,’” March 2020, page 18.) My husband and I are going to try straw bale gardening, for sure.

Editor’s note: Thank you for sharing that episode, Char! Craig was featured on the award-winning PBS television series hosted by Joe Lamp’l (who’s also been featured in Carolina Country).

THIS MONTH: Culinary Adventures

In recent years you’ve likely come to know Wendy Perry as a mainstay for Carolina Country – you’ll frequently find her recipes in our Carolina Kitchen section (along with cookbook author Debbie Moose). Wendy has also brought readers along on a few “culinary adventures,” the latest of which she didn’t have to travel far for. Learn more about her experience starting a food business on page 8. Also, read about an exciting new way a produce company is using electricity on page 6.

Correction to our June issue

“Honoring Culture through Art” (page 14) should have referenced historian Carter G. Woodson, not Wilson. Thank you to a reader for pointing that out via carolinacountry.com
