NEWARK, Ill. (RFD News) — What started with a desire to share homegrown produce has grown into something much bigger for Pearl Carpenter through The Farmacy Farmstand.
Carpenter joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to discuss how she turned a small garden into a growing farm business.
In her conversation with RFD News, Carpenter said returning to the farm where she grew up inspired her to begin selling extra produce. The Farmacy now offers naturally grown produce, U-pick flowers, and activities that bring people onto the farm to experience agriculture firsthand.
Carpenter was also featured on the latest episode of SharkFarmer and said she hopes her story encourages people to slow down and enjoy the little things.
