9 North Carolina Farms Where You Skip the Grocery Store and Buy Beef Straight From the Pasture

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.

Hensley is back at Carter Fold this Saturday night

HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold is back in action after a week off for Halloween, and will welcome Trey Hensley & His Bluegrass Band back to the historic venue this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Trey Hensley is a Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Johnson City, Tennessee, whose musical journey has been intertwined with the Carter Family Fold since childhood. A true prodigy, Trey first stepped onto the Grand Ole Opry stage at just eleven years old, performing alongside Marty Stuart and Earl Scruggs. Not long after, he met Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at the Fold, where he performed with members of the Carter Family and later played at June Carter Cash’s birthday celebration—an early milestone that helped shape his lifelong connection to traditional music. Raised in nearby Telford, Trey began singing gospel at age six before discovering bluegrass guitar, quickly developing the fiery flatpicking style that would become his signature. His early career included several acclaimed bluegrass recordings with his band Drivin’ Force, produced with guidance from Tom T. Hall. Over the years, Trey has shared the stage with icons including Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys, J.D. Crowe, Peter Frampton, and

When people think of Southern Appalachia, they tend to think of trees and forests, and rightfully so. Most of these mountains are canopied in forest cover with an understory of shrubs, vines, and herbaceous plants, including native grass and sedge species.

11 Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants In Johnson City, Tennessee That Locals Would Rather Keep Secret

One of the best Indian restaurants on this list sits inside a building that used to be a Long John Silver’s. I love that kind of plot twist. Another spot bakes pizza in a hand-built brick oven that weighs about 10 tons. A downtown diner stays open until 4 AM on weekends, which feels like a public service.
