After our coffee and conversation at @bridgecitycoffee , I knew that TR readers needed to know about Beck Edwards and his business - @upstatewildliferescue

Beck is your go to person for nuisance wildlife situations - from snakes to possums to raccoons and to foxes and to hawks and to most all variety of creatures in between. (But skip the calls for bears and coyotes, that’s not his area. Bears and coyotes are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources.)

He’s young and he’s enthusiastic and he’s passionate about animals and their welfare.

Read more about what Beck does and how you may need his help one day.

The article is live on the TRH website.

Meet Ian.

If you love the @trfarmersmarket you might know this local face. Ian and his wife Rachel own @wetknotfarms . They’re parents to three boys - Eoin, Finn and Asher and a pair of cats and a pair of dogs.

A former @tandem_cc employee, maybe Ian has served you crepes too. Before crepes and produce and flowers, Ian thought he’d have a possible future as a fighter pilot or a paleontologist. But his elementary dream actually was to be a farmer!

He’s a die hard pizza fan - “There are so many variations and toppings to choose from I don’t think it’d ever get old.  Plus who doesn’t like pizza?” Rachel bought him a pizza oven a few years ago and now that’s his go to meal.

Speaking of Rachel, he says she laughs a lot every time he finishes any sentence with the word “allegedly”. (It’s hard to tell sarcasm in writing. Does Rachel really love this? It’s up to you to decide.)

Ian and his family love nature and Ian is an avid reader - so a book outside is a pretty perfect distraction. He has early memories of his dad reading The Hobbit to him as a child. As for movies, believe it or not, Nacho Libre actually makes Ian tear up. (Allegedly.) Of course, these days he says he’s watching an awful lot of Wild Kratts and Ninjago.

Ian loves Travelers Rest and the local market. “TR is such a cute small town and has a killer food scene for a town of its size.  Also the view from the Walmart parking lot has to be in the top 5 Walmart parking lot views.”

Ian - it’s a delight to have you as one of our local farmers and producers here in Travelers Rest! (Allegedly!😉)
