Exploring North Carolina with KathieyV

I have been to the  Cotton House  in Cary twice.  Once on a food truck night with Erica and Josh and another time with a friend.

Food Trucks and Mayton Inn The first time I visited the Cotton House, it was on an evening they had a food truck.   The truck for the evening was  The Humble Pig .  I ordered a BBQ plate, and it was delicious.  They also partner with the  Mayton Inn  that is right beside them.  You can place an order with the Inn, and they will bring the order to you at the Cotton House.   Interior The interio

So cute, I wanted to take him home:-) I  listened to the talk given by the farmer and learned about sustainable crops.  He said that after a field was harvested then turkeys and chickens came in and ate from the site, and when they were done they send in the pigs, and they clear the land.  Everything works together.  Makes total sense.  Of course, I was off taking pictures and playing with the puppies, so I missed most of the talk, but that's ok because I love taking pictures.....and petting puppies:-) As I was reading about each farm, I ke
