Excerpt from Greensboro’s News & Record Article titled, ‘Life on the (organic) farm’:
“Charlie Sydnor is “Doc” to most who know him. The opthamologist excels at neuro-opthalmology, so much so that some patients travel from Durham to Burlington to see him.”
“But Sydnor often calls himself a rancher, or farmer. That’s where he’s most content — on his sprawling 500-acre farm, about 13 miles from his Burlington practice.”
“Here, dogs run, tongues out and tails wagging. Cows bellow as they graze on rolling green pastures. Muddy pig pens are filled with 800-pound hogs and tiny piglets, their snouts dusty from gobbling grain. Tractors hum in the distance, and trucks crunch on gravel.”
“Eliza MacLean, former wildlife rescuer and adventure racer turned hog farmer, keeps everything running. She lives on the farm with her 7-year-old twins who are growing up planting produce and gathering freshly laid eggs.”
“Sydnor’s farm, Braeburn, adjoins MacLean’s 20-acre Cane Creek farm. They merged their operations about a year ago, forming Wells Branch Farm.”
