This episode "Light on Recovery: Mountain Christmas" features an interview with Rita from Stepps Hillcrest Orchard, a family-run agritourism farm in Hendersonville, North Carolina. During the episode, Rita shares the challenges her orchard faced after a severe storm. Significant road damage around the farm limited access, forcing them to close for four weeks during their peak season. Despite these hardships, the orchard adapted by taking apples to other farms and local markets, where they also gathered supplies for storm victims. The orchard has a strong community focus, and part of their sales went to help a local church and an employee who lost everything. The episode emphasizes the resilience of small businesses in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee and encourages listeners to support these businesses during the Christmas season.
