This Farm Collection Is Rooted in 250 Years of American History

Natasha McCrary of 1818 Farms joins us to share the inspiration behind their new “America 250" Collection, and how rural traditions continue to shape modern American history and culture.

MOORESVILLE, ALA. (RFD NEWS) — As the nation gets ready for the upcoming America 250 celebrations commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding, some agricultural brands are turning to history, craftsmanship, and rural traditions to reflect on the country’s roots.

Natasha McCrary, Founder of 1818 Farms, joined us for Market Day Report Weekend to discuss the inspiration behind the farm’s America 250 Collection, which draws on early American traditions and Revolutionary-era influences, and why the milestone resonates strongly with rural communities.

In her conversation with RFD News Anchor Eliza Petry, McCrary shares how 1818 Farms’ business has flourished around handcrafted goods, small-scale agriculture, and intentional living rooted in farm life.

She also discussed the creative inspiration behind the new collection and what she hopes customers take away, emphasizing the value of understanding our agricultural heritage and the role farming has played in shaping American identity.

Eliza and Natasha also touched on the growing interest in homesteading and self-reliance across America in recent years, noting that many consumers are once again seeking a closer connection to the origins of their food and everyday goods.

Finally, McCreary discussed why the America 250 celebration holds special meaning for those in agriculture, pointing to farming’s long-standing role in American independence, resilience, and community.
