In Cabarrus County farming isn’t just a job ... it’s a legacy. For generations, farmers have formed the backbone of our community, nurturing the food on our tables and shaping the land we call home. Cooperative Extension Livestock and Field Crops Agent Sarah Newman is taking on a mission to preserve the stories of those Century Farms.
On this episode, we talk to Sarah about the Century Farms project and visit two local farmers connected to 100-plus-year-old operations.

What Makes CabCo Thankful?
During the Cabarrus County Fair in September, we set up a couple of microphones and a portable mixer and posed a simple question to fairgoers: What makes you thankful? The responses ranged from hilarious to heartwarming and everything in between.
In this episode, YOU share the treasures in your life.
In addition to a whole bunch of appreciation, we'll hear from Communications and Outreach members Jonathan Weaver, Dominique Clark, Jarrett Glass, Tiffany Powell and Jaelyn McCrea on the experience of gathering nearly 200 voices that gave thanks for family, friends, faith, good health and more (like spaghetti and coffee, in that order).
Here's hoping you have a wonderful holiday and continue giving thanks throughout the year.
