Why the Appalachians
A few words from our President
“I fell in love with the Great Smoky Mountains after living in east Tennessee for 10 years, I loved the time I spent living in South Carolina, and North Carolina. Driving through West Virginia, is dangerous, so many beautiful vistas. The people of Ohio are so welcoming and pure. I’ve lived in 9 states, and 5 of those are within the greater Appalachian region, and that is why I brought my skills and experience to this region.” – Sarah Morris, President
The Appalachian culture is defined…
The Appalachian culture is defined by strong family ties, community spirit, self-reliance, and a deep connection to nature. While individualism is a core value, it coexists with a strong sense of community and mutual aid. The mountainous landscape fosters a close relationship with nature, instilling a deep appreciation for the environment and a sense of belonging to the land. Generosity, hospitality, and respect for elders are also prevalent values, contributing to the resilience and ability to maintain traditions despite societal changes.
