This time of year, deep into autumn but not quite winter, the world is physically changing; leaves on trees shift into endless hues of yellow, orange, and red, and the falling temperature brings a chill into the air. It’s a time of metamorphosis, when things from the past begin to shed away, making space for new things to come later on. As the world around us transforms, we can likewise evolve within—shedding old patterns, mindsets and possessions that now prove needless. Instead of clinging to old habits purely for the comfort of knowing what they will yield, we now have time to venture outside of the ordinary, exploring new opportunities and directions we may otherwise never know.

Five years ago, Patrick had the life many of us aspire to, holding a secure, upper-level position at a major consulting company. However, he did not find joy in this daily grind; rather, he felt stuck.
Seeing his coworkers so driven to climb the ladder, Patrick realized that he would never draw their same sense of fulfillment through corporate work. Rather, he found excitement in disconnecting from his routine and reconnecting to the natural world.
His desire to explore the unseen was fueled by his lifelong love of motorcycles, and he made a plan that involved a long term cross-country motorcycle trip that would take him out west. After finding a piece of land across the country that would afford him the freedom to pursue his passions, Patrick took the plunge. With the swoosh of an email, Peter resigned from his prestigious job and dove headfirst into the unknown.
“There’s a risk to changing your life, but there’s a bigger risk in not at least trying” he said.
After his resignation, Patrick fulfilled his plan to take a 6+ month motorcycle trip down to the Southernmost tip of South America and then moved from a city of 1.2 million to the town of Murphy, Idaho where the population is 97. Now, he owns a gun company and quenches his thirst for adventure by completing cross-country motorcycle rides, base jumping, and even paragliding straight into his own backyard. His appetite for exploration pushes him to break boundaries and set new goals, going off route to discover the joy in the unknown.
“I used to ask myself ‘how far can I go?’” He said. “And now I ask myself: ‘where can I get to?’”

***FOR BEST RESULTS, TURN SOUND ON***
We’ve all felt it…trapped by what people think we should do, by artificial connectivity, and by a societal definition of success. And, the need to cut the cord is becoming more prominent and more widespread. The more digitally connected we become, the thirstier most of us get for actual connection – to the land around us and to each other. And, possibly as a result of the digital age, the rebel demographic is becoming both less specific and less predictable.
This is the path that Off Route and Proceed to the Route explores – people breaking free and the benefits therein. We follow people who go left when everyone else would go right, travelers who follow an inner compass rather than a smartphone, and those who continuously turn down the road less travelled. We want to take an intimate look at how this perspective is brought to light, where it leads and when and how it’s valuable.
Proceed to the Route communicates the sense of urgency, conflict and fortitude that comes with the decision to part from convention, as well as our inherent need to cling to it. As a brand, The Off Route series was created to get to the underlying point of the unconventional life for each traveler we document. What does it change? Is this what it means to fully find yourself? Is it an escape? Stay tuned.

Baldwin Family Farms
Baldwin Family Farms is a multi-generation, sustainable Charolais cattle farm owned and operated by the Baldwin family. The operation is spread over about 800 acres (plus 1200 ac of leased pastures) near Yanceyville, North Carolina. The Baldwin family consists of V. Mac & Peggy , daughter Patti Shepherd (children Scott & Patrick) and son Craig, wife Tracey (children Kristain and Stephen). Inspired by his Grandfather, the late H. Mack Weatherspoon, V. Mac dreamed of being a cattleman at very young age. He purchased his first calf when was 10 years old. While studying engineering at North Carolina State University, when others were cruising Raleigh on weekends, V. Mac and Peggy would cruise the NC State cattle herds. Their quest for creating the best grass fed, antbiotic free, halal beef, free range beef, began in 1969 with the purchased of two registered Charolais heifers. Peggy’s family’s 19-acre homeplace became their first pastures. They went on to rent and improve 100′s of acres until 1981 when they purchased a 331-acre homeplace in Caswell County. The Baldwins practices a unique form of winter and summer grazing that allow them to graze year-around. There are three key elements to their program: 1) Using rich organic plant food (breeder hen litter)—which is now produced entirely from over 75,000 hens and roasters on their farm, 2) Fall planting of forage Rye/Marshall Rye Grass/ Crimson Clover for winter grazing, and 3) Spring planting of Red River Crabgrass for summer grazing. This unique system of high energy, high protein (sweet grasses) has quadrupled the grazing capacity of their pastures while further improving the quality and flavor of their beef. In 2002 the Baldwins began marketing their unique grass fed, antibiotic free, all-natural lean beef under the Baldwin Charolais Beef label. In 2003, they opened their On-Farm Beef Outlet. Early adopters of web technology, they redesigned their websites in 2005 and 2008 to better reflect the family’s grow

The Farmery
What if you could visit the farm every time you visited the market? The Farmery is an innovative urban market and farm designed to produce and sell locally made food. The Farmery combines a retail grocery, cafe and indoor agricultural systems that raise the value of food by offering the customer an educational and stimulating food shopping experience. At the Farmery, the consumer can witness and participate in the growth and harvest of crops and fish. The Farmery grows a portion of the produce and fish it sells, reducing the complexity and costs of locally sourced food by consolidating the entire food distribution system. Growing food in the store allows the Farmery to provide the freshest possible fare to the consumer. The Farmery is designed to improve margins on local food to enable small artisan farmers to move from the fringes of our food system and into the center stage of a retailer. The Farmery accomplishes this by giving customers a better understanding of the value of their food by immersing them in an environment where they are surrounded by food growing around them where they can see the food’s growth cycle happening as they make their purchase decisions; better educating them about the true value of the processes used to grow their food and establishing a more intimate connection to their food. When customers walk into The Farmery they will discover that flavor not only resides in food, but also in the environment that surrounds them.
