When he retired after being released in 2012, he bought a 1,000-acre farm near Louisburg, N.C., and he began giving away crops from his First Fruits Farm to local charities.“If we’re truly going to inspire change, if if we’re truly going to see change in our food system and in ending hunger, we’re going to have to give our best,” Brown said in a video posted by UNC. “More people take interest in saying, ‘Well, hold on a second, why did this NFL player give up his career and all of that money to be a farmer?’ And what it’s caused is, there’s many more First Fruits Farms and and First Fruits Gardens popping up all over the world, and that’s awesome.”The University of North Carolina product just had 40,000 pounds of sweet potatoes unloaded near campus, donating his entire crop to area food pantries and shelters. 1 by moklerman 6 years 1 month ago Total posts: 7680 Joined: Apr 17 2015 Bakersfield, CA Hall of Fame Re: Former NFL center Jason Brown does something truly sweet POST #2 TOPIC AUTHOR Dark times for the Rams and I don't recall him being a bright spot but this is very cool of him. by TomSlick 6 years 1 month ago Total posts: 2907 Joined: Jun 01 2015 Many of us know the feeling of the universe conspiring to bring car and driver together.
