🌿 WELCOME TO CLEVELAND COUNTY | LOCAL SPOTLIGHT #1

I’m so excited to start something new! 🤍

As part of my Moving to Cleveland County, NC website and my new Welcome to Cleveland County Guide, I’ll be spotlighting businesses and resources around our community , from locally owned small businesses to some of the larger places that make living here convenient and fun.

And for my VERY FIRST spotlight, I had to share Foodstead!

If you love the idea of supporting local farmers and feeding your family locally sourced food, this is one you’ll want to know about!
Foodstead is a Shelby-based private membership community that connects local families with multiple local farms and producers , all in one place.
Instead of driving from farm to farm, you can:
🌾 Browse products from multiple local farmers & producers
🛒 Place ONE convenient online order
🥩 Shop items like local meats, produce, eggs, baked goods, herbs & more
📦 Foodstead coordinates everything with the farmers
🚗 Pick up your entire order at one convenient Shelby location!
It’s such a neat way to make shopping local easier while putting your dollars back into the hands of the farmers and producers in our own community. ❤️
Their mission says it beautifully: nourishing families, supporting farmers, and strengthening our community through local food.
📍 Based in Shelby, NC

This is exactly the kind of thing I want my Welcome to Cleveland County Guide to be about helping people who are new to our area discover the places, people, businesses, and resources that make Cleveland County feel like HOME. 🏡🤍
And we’re just getting started!
Are you a Cleveland County business that would like to be featured? I would LOVE to hear from you!

If you’re local to Cleveland County, you’ll want to add this one to your breakfast/brunch list! I stopped by Pfeiffer’s Cafe to try some of their new breakfast items, and of course I had to start with a crepe. 😍

I love getting out and sharing some of the local places we have right here in our community and this was such a fun stop!

Have you tried breakfast at Pfeiffer’s yet?! If so, tell me what I need to order next! 👇

This one is a little extra special. 🏡❤️

Congratulations to my buyers AND my sellers on closing on this beautiful property!

There’s something so sweet about watching one chapter close while another one begins. This home already holds so many memories, and now it gets to be the backdrop for a whole new season of life, love, laughter, and memories , while still holding onto a little piece of everything that came before. 🥹
And what a perfect way to walk into the “ber” months… with a new place to call HOME. 🍂🏡

I’m so thankful I got to be a small part of this one. Congratulations to everyone , I’m so excited for what’s ahead! ❤️🔑
