Under is our Q&A with Addis:

Greetings Addis! Thanks for taking the time to attach with us! At first, are you able to give us an summary of the totally different iterations of this property over time?

Properly, that’s a very long time, so I’ll simply say I’m a fifth-generation farmer. It began with T.J. Bugg who began farming as a slave and when he was freed, he began shopping for up land any time he may. He constructed a church, was a pastor, constructed a faculty, and continued to purchase land. I believe he ended up with about 1000 acres.

And every era one of many many kids born into every household would proceed to farm. My father, Cornelius Bugg, grew soybeans, candy corn, area corn, peas, and all types of issues.

Out of my dad’s 5 kids, I appeared to be the one one who needed to farm the land, so I grew up farming with my dad, however was recruited by the Marine Corp and did that till I retired in 2008. I labored within the civilian sector from 2008 to 2015 after which returned dwelling to begin a farm on the household property.
