Growing Purple Hull Peas, Young Black Farmer Terren Moore Keeps Focus on the Future (episode 123)

Grounded by the Farm

Texan Terren Moore saw a lot of demand for vegetables locally while in high school. He started a backyard garden at the age of 15 & it wasn't long til he was expanding to use more land. He's now nine seasons into the business and investing in capital and improving the farm's environmental footprint.

We talk about how as a young black man, he is creating multiple income streams for the future. He explains his business that grew from his family's love of peas and how education, hands-on experience & customer service make the difference. And he shares his grandmom's secret for peas that he could eat everyday for the rest of his life!
