I live on the farm where I was raised, and we have 4 others. One farm has been in the family since the 1850's, and this one since right after the Civil War. Most of the cropland has been rented out since my grandfather got disabled in the 70's.

We are in a sparsely populated area, but Raleigh, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Camp Lejeune, and Myrtle Beach are all within a reasonable driving distance.
