Episode: From Church Pew to Farm Rows: The Wyatt Chapel Reinvention
Description: Hello Backstory fans! Meet Robert and Melissa Wyatt: a retired soldier and his partner who turned their ancestral church into a cozy home and a buzzing farm. Their story’s full of grit, funny moments, and old-school Appalachian know-how — from maple syrup and hickory cane corn to sauerkraut lessons and heirloom seeds.
They’ve weathered floods, raccoons, and crop failures, but they keep innovating, learning, and sharing what they grow. If you’re into food that actually tastes like something, or you believe freedom starts with being able to feed yourself, you’ll love this episode.
