Chatham County has deep roots in agriculture - dairies, flower and produce farms and groves, honey, plant nurseries, and more. "Farm to Story" is a documentary project powered by the Chatham Arts Council and produced by local artists EbzB Productions - Serena Ebhardt & David zum Brunnen that puts growers, ranchers, bakers, and farmers front and center to tell their stories and celebrate the rich culture of this county. Watch for updates on this exciting project.

Say, “Cheese” — or better yet, “Goat Cheese!”

Documentary interviews continue today for EbzB’s “Farm To Story”. We began the day with Celebrity Dairy’s Fleming Pfann and Brit Pfann. They shared stories of hard work, perseverance, love of the land, Chatham County, and the changes and challenges they’ve seen over time.

Quotable: “We could choose between sheep (who look for a thousand ways to die), or goats (who look for a thousand ways to have fun!). We chose goats!”
