I began reflecting on the environmental impact of the industrial food system and sought alternatives. My journey into farming began with an apprenticeship at a vegetable farm, leading to the establishment of Dawnbreaker Farms also known as Carolina Pastures in the Fall of 2013. Now entering our fourth year of production, we sell at two local farmer’s markets, run an urban delivery program called the Buying Club, and supply fine dining restaurants in the Triangle. Our mission to heal the land through livestock remains strong, fueled by the enthusiastic support of customers who cherish our products as much as we love growing them.
