Fred and Greg are a father-and-son team farming in York County, Pennsylvania. They really enjoy being able to farm full-time as a family. It was a dream come true for them, though they wish they would've started raising birds sooner. They currently operate four houses, but that's not the only thing that keeps them busy. They tend to a wide variety of animals and crops, from cattle and Berkshire pigs to corn, soybeans, wheat, barley, oats, hay and hemp.

Ferrell lives in Pitt County, North Carolina, and has been farming for 32 years. That much time in the industry brings with it a collection of fond memories.
