Cleveland County
Nestled in the rolling foothills of North Carolina, between Asheville and Charlotte, Cleveland County is home to large commercial fruit, animal and grain operations, as well as diversified small family farms. With plentiful farm-to-table restaurants, vineyards and wineries, roadside stands, farmers markets, and nurseries and gardens, there is always something to explore in Cleveland County!
Dennis Martin has been building a herd of charolais cattle to produce local beef for the past 46 years outside of Shelby, NC with his father on Martin Charolais Farm. A few years ago Dennis stopped by Newgrass Brewing Company in Shelby, NC to see if they had extra brewer's grain he could give to his cattle.
