Mary Love has found a way to align her passion, lifestyle, and business vision by moving to and serving as broker for Olivette, an agrihood located less than 15 minutes outside Asheville, N.C.
Set along a stretch of the French Broad River, the 350-acre Olivette is built around a 46-acre working farm that provides produce to local restaurants.
Love, who grew up on a farm, said it’s always been her wish to return to and be close to the land and to help small non-factory farms remain viable. “I’ve been dreaming of this for forever,” she says.
