Farm-Sweet-Farm: Returning to the land after retirement
What would you like to do after you retire? For Richmond County residents John Matheson and Clarence & Tanya DuBois, the answer was “farm.” John Matheson grew up on a farm in the western part of Richmond County near Mount Gilead. While in college in 1973, his father asked him to meet at a lawyer’s office in town.

The land had been in the family since 1903. John felt “gut-punched.”
