Back to His Roots

Loading my three children into the car to take the oldest to school in the early morning is usually a pretty somber and quiet routine. However, sometimes my kids have the craziest conversations. Recently my daughter, who is five, asked, “What are we doing today?” This is a common question for her to ask, as lots of times she runs errands with me or visits friends. On this day, though, we were going to check out Marmilu Farms, a recently established farm in Jackson raising organic animals.

14th Annual Ghost Tales of Jackson

Through all of these interactions I knew as much of Jackson as a person learns by driving down I-40: that we have a lot a restaurants.
