Mercedes-Benz USA ShadeFund Signature Entrepreneur Norma DeCamp Burns of Bluebird Hill Farms was featured in the ‘Home & Garden’ section of The News & Observer this weekend.
The article takes us through Norma’s incredible life’s story that eventually led to her most ambitious project: starting an organic lavender farm.
Norma’s recent success was also highlighted; In June, she was able to harvest all 500 lavender plants for the very first time thanks to the harvester she acquired with a ShadeFund loan.
Paul Poliyenko, a friend of Norma’s, was quoted as saying this about her: ‘“She's a remarkable lady."’
ShadeFund couldn’t agree more.
