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.
Lawrence County’s history is filled with Tennessee grit. Davy Crockett once called this area home and served his community, a reminder that public service has always been about answering to your neighbors. Join us this Tuesday as we continue the #TNTrueTour and talk about preserving Tennessee’s values for the next generation.
