Let's see how Nooherooka Sustainable Farms is producing humanely raised deliciousness.
♪ - I'm working on a new mural that features the Betsy Ross stars and stripes alongside the flag of Greene County.
I designed it to enhance the new Charters of Freedom Courtyard, which contains bronze replicas of our nation's founding documents.
About 1,500 residents live in Snow Hill.
His name was derived from the white sandy banks of nearby Contentnea Creek.
Let's take a field trip and meet some of my friends down at the Nooherooka Natural Farm Market.
- Well, first of all, let me say you're in Greene County and Greene County is the home of Nooherooka Natural pasture raised beef and pork products.
We say our animals don't do drugs because we don't use hormone steroids, antibiotics or any of the additives that most beef, particularly pork products contain.
- From nuts to honey, they've got ham, jam and jelly.
- We like to feature our local craftsmen and farmers.
- We have a little bitty farm right down the road here in Arba.
We make goat's milk soap using our own goat's milk and beef tallow sourced from Nooherooka right here in Snow Hill.
- The name Nooherooka originates from the once nearby Native American Fort Nooherooka.
This sculpture is in remembrance of the bloody conclusion of the Pescara War nearly 300 years ago.
The animals of Nooherooka eat an all natural diet, including hay grown right on the farm.
- I'm Andrew Kearney and Mary Betty is my mom.
We started this, she and my dad and I, 20 years ago.
Do the hay, try to keep the cows fed and whatever else needs to be done.
- Back at the ranch, I'm excited to find out more about the B.W.
Best Country Inn.
- The Benjamin Best House, the original starter house, was built in 1823.
It's a historic property on the National Registry.
We did a lot of renovation.
We moved everything that's here on this lot.
This was a diversification to tobacco.
And we opened the first B&B in Greene County.
We offer farm tours while you're here and we like to feature the way we grow our animals, which is very healthy.
- If you like to party like an animal, you're in luck.
The barn easily accommodates parties for up to 400 people.
- We do offer some activities here on the farm from time to time.
And one of those things that you can enjoy right in the B&B is Miss Lillie Hardy.
We love having Miss Lillie here.
She is a character within herself.
And she's most interesting.
She really is the biscuit maker.
And everybody gets to gather around and have their own pan of biscuits and they compete with each other.
And we carry them into our formal dining room.
And we have a really good time with homemade butter, molasses, honey, homemade jams and jellies.
- Pass me the fig preserves, if you would, please.
Sorry, cows.
We ate all of Miss Lillie's hot buttermilk biscuits.
So come visit Snow Hill.
I bet you'll be udderly amoosed the entire weekend.
♪ - The Benjamin Best Country Inn at Nooherooka Natural is at 2029 Newborn Church Road in Snow Hill.
