The first time I pulled up a gravel drive and saw the cows grazing just past the farm store, I wondered if a steak could really taste that different. It can. Across North Carolina, family farms sell beef right where it was raised, often for prices that beat the supermarket. Grab a cooler, clear some freezer space, and come meet the farms that turn a simple grocery run into a country road trip.

Jury Awards and the Limits of Bankruptcy Sanctuary

And does the company’s bankruptcy automatically protect the CEO? A recent order from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina tackles both questions – and plaintiffs will like the answers.
