Allen and I (Tatum) grew up together in a small town in Eastern, North Carolina. We, unexpectedly, reconnected during my last year of graduate school as I was transitioning back to our home town, and we were married by the end of that same year. We have since had an amazing little girl who is full of spirit and adventure (she gets it honest). In the fall of 2017, we fell in love with a property in the northern part of the county, built our dream escape, and decided to head into the farming business in 2018.
