Food Sustainability

      For my new place, I wanted to choose somewhere that is making steps in the right direction to consume food that is sustained through animals who are not caged their entire life. Therefore, I did some research, and found a place I had been to that is making their food completely sustainable from their backyard. My place is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. The Biltmore was originally created to be completely food sustainable. George Vanderbilt, the original owner and builder of the Biltmore Estate, built the mansion in vision that it would be a totally sustainable and self-efficient estate. However, over time the Biltmore had become very far from that.

     William A. V. Cecil, George Vanderbilt's Grandson, is now in control and wanted to get the Biltmore Estate back to the way his Grandfather envisioned it. Through a lot of work, he has successfully gotten the Biltmore back to making his Grandfather proud. It is very interesting to read all of the ways the Biltmore functions with sustainable food. This is going to be very neat to talk about for my next essay.
