This Friday meet Kevin and Linda Baird, owners of Cornucopia Farm in Scottsburg, Indiana. Over the course of 30 years, the Bairds have built their farm from a two-acre pumpkin patch into a flourishing fall travel destination. Kevin is the second generation in his family to farm this land, and his sons, Michael and Jared, plan to continue the tradition.

This Friday meet Harold and Mary Wheeler of Holdenville, Oklahoma. The Wheelers moved from Kentucky in 2004 searching for a place to farm. Along with their Jersey cows, Moo and Daisy, the Wheelers started their operation and set out on a journey that would bring them close to USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). “We got the bright idea to quit our jobs and move somewhere that we didn’t know a soul and had no income, and we are glad we did,” Mary said.
