From Urban to Rural!
Seth and Lyndsey Teter embrace small-town life at Six Buckets Farm… "Our move to Tuscarawas County was about more than bringing new life to an old family farm. It was about the sense of purpose and place we found. Like much of Appalachia, this county demonstrates both a spirit of self-reliance and the bonds of community. It remembers its history as it presses ahead. Those same values drive our daily work on the farm. It’s rarely easy, but it’s never without meaning. That’s why we continue to work toward our goal of connecting others with delicious food from this beautiful landscape. And we couldn’t imagine a better place to call home."
