Kate has been one of my dearest friends since high school. She's been there with me through major life stuff, is one of the people who I usually talk to twice a week even though we are separated by 1000 miles or so, and after I got married I went to live & work with her and her brand new family on their blueberry farm (turns out being married to a foreign grad student means that either you spend your summers in poverty because one of you isn't allowed to work in the other person's country, or you spend the summers apart... as we were already very poor we chose the latter option... So here's my honorary sister, going through a major life transition, and making the best of it like how she always does (if you're interested in seeing pictures of Kate check out my ode to North Carolina, she's real pretty) -Lauren
For the last 3 years, my family was living on a 12 acre organic blueberry & produce farm about 30 miles outside of Asheville, NC. We ran it as a farm-to-table establishment with Tupelo Honey Café where my fiancé is the head chef. Although the farm was incredibly special to us- it’s where we became a “family”- it became quite clear that the pros outweighed the cons of moving back into Asheville.
