Carol Harvey Clapp grew up on a dairy farm in Epping, oldest of eight children. Parents are local characters Daniel Webster Harvey and Louise Peterson Harvey, who themselves grew up on farms just seven miles apart. Clapp graduated from Epping High School with a goal of traveling to all 50 United States, which she accomplished many years ago while meeting her equally itchy-footed husband David. The pair bought a "wee crib" at the bottom of New Zealand's South Island and currently winter there. Carol gets a work permit to milk 400 cows twice a day, something she can do.
Join us as Carol and her husband David talk about the book, their family farm, and their life now.
For every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.
Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want.
You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s in the U.S. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal.
