Blackmon Singled Out as a Major Farm Voice in the USA
ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / January 12, 2015 / Farm Star Living, a national lifestyle brand highlighting farms, farm-fresh foods, and the farm-to-table food movement, is thrilled to announce that its founder, Mary Blackmon, has been selected as one of Country Woman Magazine's "Most Amazing Women." In honor of their anniversary, Country Woman has identified their 45 "Amazing Women" - including Tricia Yearwood, Loretta Lynn, Danica Patrick, and...Mary Blackmon.
Country Woman dubs Mary Blackmon the "Accidental Farmer," as Blackmon had at one time been more familiar with manicures than with getting her hands dirty. Before her life as a farmer, Blackmon was the Founder and CEO of Spa-Addicts.com, the first national Internet spa discount site. All that changed in 2009, when she opted to give her pampered life the boot in order to save her family's farm on the border of Arkansas and Louisiana. Finding herself inspired as never before by her farm and the farmers around her, Mary felt compelled to launch a new company farmstarliving.com.
Blackmon says, "It's so easy to support American farmers, and anyone can do it by taking a farm tour or visit, eating at a farm-to-table restaurant, or purchasing more farm-fresh food. We're all about encouraging more and more people to embrace a farm-conscious way of life – a lifestyle we call Farm Star Living!"
Championing the farmer, farm activities, and the farm-to-table movement, Farm Star Living's website offers monthly content, including lifestyle interviews with farmers (our "Farm Stars"), plus a robust Farm-to-Table directory profiling farm-to-table restaurants across the USA. There's also a "Farm Fun" directory, searchable by state as well as by activities like berry picking, milk-a-cow, petting zoos, farm tours, B&B's, cattle drives, and more. The Healthy Living A-Z Farm Food guide provides health, nutrition information, and fun facts on more than 100 fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.
Farm Star Living also offers a free app to find Farm to Table eateries and Farm Fun near you - all across the USA - a free download for Android, iPhone, and iPad.
