Jennifer Daniels, 2023 Pork Producer of the Year

Meeting Jennifer Daniels for the first time, it’s her lucky pig earrings that initially stand out.

“The earrings were gifts to me from a couple of girls who I call my grandchildren,” says Daniels, noting that the girls are actually no kin to her. “They knew how much I love pigs, and I am happy that the earrings are the first thing people see when they meet me.”

But the earrings are not the most enduring thing people remember about the NC Pork Council’s 2023 Outstanding Pork Producer of the Year. It’s her infectious enthusiasm that stands out regarding all aspects of her life, including her outstanding contributions to the pork industry.

Just understand her priorities. Faith. Family. Farm.

Receive an email from Daniels, and it will conclude with a passage of scripture. Her favorite is Matthew 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Daniels is fully committed to the Union Grove Baptist Church in Salemburg, where she wears many hats. In fact, she wears most of them, serving as music director, worship leader, women’s group leader and Sunday School teacher.

Historic Tunnel With A Psychedelic Twist

Video: Historic Tunnel With A Psychedelic Twist

Today, we leave Ewetopia Farms behind, and as "The Wandering Shepherds," we explore the Historic Brockville Railway Tunnel—with a psychedelic twist! This isn’t your ordinary walk through history. Stretching under about five city blocks of Brockville’s historic downtown, this tunnel has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind experience with a dazzling psychedelic light and sound show. The mix of history and modern art creates an atmosphere that’s both fascinating and fun. We had heard about this tunnel for years, but nothing prepared us for how incredible it looks in person. Walking through and back again was unforgettable—and apparently, they even run trolley tours through it as well!
