Our friends at Hendersonville Community Theatre will be streaming A Hole in My Heart, an original production capturing the immeasurable grief of gun violence survivors, from February 1st through the 7th to mark National Gun Violence Survivors Week. Written by Henderson County residents Doreen Blue and Eileen Douglas, the moving series of diverse monologues is performed by local community theater actors and gun safety activists. This video contains disturbing content that may be too intense for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.

All donations to view this drama will go to the Riley Howell Foundation Fund, an organization supporting families affected by gun violence. The foundation was formed by the family of Riley Howell, a UNC-Charlotte student who was shot and killed in April, 2019 trying to save his classmates from an armed attacker.

We’re Hiring! 1-year Internship Hickory Nut Gap Farm
Feb 2 all-day
Online w/ Hickory Nut Gap Farm
We’re Hiring!

1-year Internship

START DATE: April 1, 2021
Are you someone who wants to work in agriculture? Interested in learning more about regenerative farming practices in a safe and inclusive environment?

Jump start your agriculture career with our 1-year immersive internship. We will put you in the driver’s seat of our operation so that you can learn while doing and expand your understanding of all aspects of the farming industry. If you’re hardworking, honest, committed, and passionate about what you do, then we want you!

Farm interns play a vital role in the day-to-day operation of farming practices on our 300+ acre farm in Fairview, NC.  During the 1-year time commitment, interns will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of livestock farming, berry and apple cultivation, and a variety of farm maintenance skills including carpentry and plumbing.

Hickory Nut Gap Farm has been a family business since 1916 and is currently operated by 4th generation farmer, Jamie Ager.  He and his family opened the farm to the public for tours, events, and activities while still maintaining year round meat production in 100% grassfed beef and pasture-raised pork and chicken.  Since no other regional farm operates as both a production facility and agritourism model, this is a unique opportunity for interns to see how business and farming intertwine. Hickory Nut Gap is also one of the leading pioneers in sustainable farming, rotational grazing, and regenerative agriculture practices in the Southeast Region.
