It takes a village to help raise healthy, emotionally aware, confident young men. Join us on Sunday, June 7 for another UNC Mentorship Program focused on cleanliness, hygiene, responsibility, emotional intelligence, and practical life skills in a safe and supportive environment for our youth. This is more than a program. It is intentional mentorship, guidance, community care, and positive connection. Parents, mothers, fathers, grandparents, caregivers, aunties, uncles, mentors, and community members are all welcome. We also want this to be a space where parents and caregivers feel supported, encouraged, and connected with others raising young men through today’s challenges. Young men will participate in: • Mentorship and emotional intelligence activities • Community garden experiences • Hygiene and cleanliness conversations • Team-building and practical life skills • Positive community connection and support Food will be provided. If you have been saying our communities need more guidance, more village, more mentorship, and more safe spaces for our youth, this is an opportunity to be part of the change you want to see. We are also looking for positive volunteers, mentors, caregivers, and community supporters who want to help make an impact locally. Whether you have experience mentoring youth, helping organize community events, teaching life skills, supporting parents, or simply showing up consistently with care and leadership, your presence matters. Reach out directly if you are interested in volunteering or partnering with future mentorship events. Sunday, June 7 | 2 PM – 5 PM Tony Hillian East Spencer Community Garden 920 Cedar St, Salisbury, NC All young men are welcome.

This is more than an event… this is a space you can feel safe bringing him into. We understand what it takes to raise young men. The weight of it. The responsibility of it. The questions that don’t always have clear answers. That’s why this isn’t just for them - it’s for you too. The Unc Mentorship Program is rooted in a village mentality. A space where young men are guided with patience, presence, and real care… and where mothers and families are supported, seen, and poured into as well. You don’t have to do this alone. 📍 Tony Hillian East Spencer Community Garden 🗓 April 25th ⏰ 12 PM – 4 PM ✔️ Food provided by Heal Vegan | Chef Blu ✔️ Daycare available ✔️ Open space for conversation, support, and community If you’ve been looking for the right environment — one that feels safe, grounded, and intentional… This is that space. Bring him. And come be supported too. #UncMentorship #UnityforThePeople #mentorship #DownHomeNorthCarolina

There’s a difference between being told what to do… and being guided by someone who actually sees you. The Unc Mentorship Program is a space where young men are able to: • Be heard • Build confidence • Learn through experience • Grow in community This isn’t a lecture. This is real mentorship, real presence, and real connection. 📍 Tony Hillian East Spencer Community Garden 📍 920 Cedar St, Salisbury, NC 🗓 April 25th ⏰ 12 PM – 4 PM ✔️ Food provided ✔️ Daycare provided ✔️ Open to young men of all ages Led by Danté Bland in partnership with Unity For The People, this experience centers guidance, patience, and leadership by example. If you’ve been looking for the right environment for a young man in your life… this is that space. Save this. Share this. Bring him. #UncMentorship #Menotorship #BlackFathers #BlackMothers #BlackBoyJoy

For me connecting with people is more about meeting where someone is currently be it location be it level of understanding but simply where they are.

Took a screened-in gazebo and upfit it into a true Florida room—without killing the open feel. We framed it out to properly support exterior sheathing and started with a plan for four medium windows. Mid-build, the homeowner found a Facebook market place deal on some seriously big windows. That changed the game. We backed up, reworked the framing, and made it happen. Totally worth it. Night and day difference. This isn’t a gazebo turned into a closet. The space is still wide open—just closed in where it counts. Big sight lines. Natural light. Still feels like the outdoors, just smarter; wait did we just invent the smart-gazebo? Next step: adding a mini-split. Once that’s in, these allergy sufferers can enjoy the space even when pollen is out here acting reckless. So let me ask you— Got a space that needs a facelift? Basement. Garage. Shed. She-shed. Man cave. Hit the DMs. We’ll talk through your vision and build it the right way.

Today’s project: milling lumber for a new chicken tractor. No store-bought plans here—just using what’s already on the land. This one will be about 12x10, 5 feet tall, with a special foot and a rear lift-kit wheel to solve the weight issue. Milling everything down to 2x3s and hoping this warm weather lets us start assembly today. Farm builds in motion. #poultryfarming #farmbuilder Do you r member the farrowing strips you milled at the shop for E's Land? @unityftp @mccrae3450

#HappyTurkeyDay Today we’re celebrating with two Standard Bronze heritage turkeys we raised right here at @omobile_farm — birds shaped by open pasture, clean feed, and the quiet patience of slow growth. One customer took theirs in a bold, joyful direction: a rub of #miraclewhip, #creolebutter, and #creoleseasoning — a technicolor flavor upgrade worthy of a holiday table. Ours is all about layered simplicity: a brine of fresh garlic and ginger, dried arugula, cracked black pepper, wild-harvested rosemary and oregano, cayenne, a whisper of whiskey, a touch of sugar, and just enough salt to guide flavor deep into the meat through pure osmosis. Finished with a buttery injection of ghee and garlic before the air fryer takes over. Pasture. Craft. Heat. A holiday built from the inside out. how was your turkey cooked?

#Harvest days always feel a bit ceremonial. Twenty-five #ducks, ten #chickens & five #turkeys. Each one raised on organic feed, grown at its own pace, and harvested at the moment nature intended — not rushed, not forced, simply ready. Open air. No harsh chemicals. Just skill. Intention. And the kind of work that brings people together. Three men. Sharing knowledge. Relearning old ways. Refining new ones. A day that feels honest. A day that feels natural. A day rooted in who we are — gatherers, growers, caretakers. Food, raised with respect. Craft, practiced with purpose.
