HIstoric Brothers Farm is located in the community of LaGrange. For almost two centuries, its fertile soils have been producing delicious plums, figs, pears, and forty-seven varieties of vegetables –all grown naturally, without pesticides.

If this place sounds familiar, you may remember it from the PBS series “A Chef’s Life.” Owner Warren Brothers, worked closely with Chef Vivian Howard, to reinvent area farming and introduce the farm to table movement.

Today, Warren and long-time employee Lillie Hardy, hold cooking demonstrations in the farm house on the art of Southern cooking. Visitors can sign up to learn how to make homemade biscuits, fried chicken, and more working one-on-one with Mrs. Lillie. But be forewarned: Eating too many biscuits may make your clothes shrink. For more information call us at 252.523.2500.
