In August, Carroll County Grown had the privilege to partner with the farm families from: Farm Content, Mayberry Mill and the Carroll County Farm Museum to feature their barn quilts and their farm/family stories on a story segment with Shannon Lilly – FOX Baltimore. The quilts featured include: Quilt #4 Shriver Millstone, Quilt #8 Sheaf of Wheat and Quilt #1 Birds in Flight (respectively).
It was an amazing experience to learn all about these farms, families and their Carroll County history and we are pleased to be able to share it with you! You can check out the interview below or watch today on the 5pm Fox 45 segment.
