About me

Location	Black Mountain, NC, United States
Introduction	I am the seventh generation of Burnettes to farm the land which I own. With the help of a WNC AgOptions Grant through the NC Tobacco Trust fund, I was able to transition my cattle farm to blueberry and hop production in 2009. In 2010, I added a butterfly flighthouse and started working with the University of Western Illinois studying the feasability of growing milkweed commercially and finding new markets for it.
