“It was my mother, my grandmothers and my Aunt Helen,” said Cox. “As a family, we would vacation in eastern North Carolina at our farm, Long Acre. During those vacations, I had the ability to see food created from seed to fork and animals raised from birth to slaughter.”
But it was his friends who brought him to Chattanooga.
