Chad loves nature & the outdoors. He currently resides in the city of Terre Haute in Vigo County where he enjoys working in his greenhouse & raising & selling everything from watermelons & cantaloupes to sweet corn, green beans & tomatoes in the summer. “There is just something about working in the soil-it brings a certain peace & satisfaction that is hard to equal. I will always have gardening & agriculture in my blood,” he explains.
