Bernie Baker

Bertie County
North Carolina

Farming since 1974

Bernie doesn't consider farming a job but a passion. It's in his blood. Working with his father while growing up and then farming with him after college offered Bernie experiences that most sons are not fortunate to have. Together they built a farm where they both enjoy solving the challenges of the crop and poultry business, and Bernie wouldn't trade it for anything.

Pennsylvania

Farming since 2008

Carl and Wanda have been farming for 30 years and are the first in their family to do so.
