Pace Family Farms
Pace Family Farms is a multigenerational farm in Clayton, North Carolina. Transitioning from tobacco, the family now produces a variety of seasonal produce all year round, including sweetpotatoes.
“This recipe reminds me of fall and wintertime with family,” says Michelle Pace, owner and operator of Pace Family Farms. “This side dish was made all the time in the winter months growing up and one we always looked forward to.”
Pace says the farm’s customers have been supportive since their first strawberry crop in 2016. Since then, the farm has diversified with new crops and a CSA program with fresh beef and pork. Learn more at pacefamilyfarms.com.
