Meet John
John is a conservative outsider and lifelong Tennessean. He is raising his family on the Generational Rose family farm because Tennessee is his home.
In fact, John is the 8th generation to live and farm in the adjoining Temperance Hall and Lancaster communities in Dekalb and Smith Counties. He started working on the farm as a kid and was raised in nearby Cookeville. John graduated from Cookeville High School and continued his education at Tennessee Tech University, home of the Golden Eagles. He studied agriculture at Tech, an easy choice for him since farming has always been a passion of his.
Great turnout in Lake County for our #TNTrueTour stop! We talked about keeping faith, family, and freedom at the forefront of everything we do. Tennessee deserves leaders who reflect the same character and values as the fine folks they serve.
I enjoyed spending time in Weakley County and visiting with so many people at our #TNTrueTour stop. Rural Tennessee deserves growth that creates opportunity without losing what makes these communities special.
We had a great time at the Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree, a cherished Tennessee tradition that dates back to 1972 and celebrates our state’s rich heritage. Events like this remind us why it’s so important to preserve the traditions that make Tennessee special.
