High Rock Nursery My Blog site will be about High Rock Nursery, located in Lexington, North Carolina. I picked this farm because my family has been eating their produce for years and we are good friends with the owners due to growing up with their children and graduating high school with them. The owner is Thomas Penninger, he along with his wife, daughter, and two sons run the farm. They grow Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, and different types of vegetables. They will post on their website each year exactly what they will be growing in the spring and summer. They also have a nursery where they grow ornamental shrubs and trees along with other varieties of plants to help with landscaping in the area. One of the trees in my backyard is from High Rock Nursery. They are also apart of the North Carolina 10% Campaign, which is  a pledge to spend 10% of the farms existing food dollars locally. I am excited to learn about how they run the whole farm by themselves and their story ...
