Join host Ryan Webber as he sits down with Josh Graham, owner of one of the Lake Norman area's most beloved businesses - Josh's Farmers Market. In this engaging conversation, Josh shares the incredible journey from selling cantaloupes as a 10-year-old boy from his great-grandfather's garden to building one of the region's largest and most popular farmers markets.
