Abstract:
Native Will Robertson planted more than his family’s roots in Washington; he also planted roots for his organic farm, Deep Roots Farm. As for his business’ growing popularity, Roberson attributed this to an interest in organic foods and Washington’s convenient location, as a bedroom community to East Carolina University and Greenville’s Vidant Hospital.

Abstract:
The author defined GMOs’ complexity by examining their crisis inducing potential, illustrated by incidents such as an increase in gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, and infertility. People may counter the crisis by endorsing crop variety, advocating small-scale farmers, increasing local food production and consumption, and decreasing fertilizer use. Until the crisis passes, the author recommended avoiding GMOs by growing foods and purchasing certified organic foods. As for the difference between non-GMO and organic, Figart noted organic foods do not contain GMOs and are not exposed to pesticides.

Abstract:
An inherited farm in the town of Godwin synthesizes old and new for the benefit of its residents and the community. The current residents continue the farmhouse tradition, carried out in this Sampson County dwelling by Tom Jackson’s great-grandfather, albeit with a modern day twist. Jackson Farm’s organic offerings, identified by the author as niche crops, include herbs, edible flowers, and fruit trees. Other offerings are a retreat style guesthouse and backdrop for weddings.
