Biography
Based in Asheville, NC, I have 15+ years of experience as a published writer and editor for WNC magazine, a Folio award-winning lifestyle publication covering Western North Carolina. I’ve curated and overseen the production of more than 100 issues and thousands of articles about this gorgeous area of Southern Appalachia, from its vibrant farm-to-table scene to Appalachian history to outdoor adventures. As a writer, I’ve written about everything from arts, crafts, and culture, travel and outdoors to food, farming, architecture, style, people, and more. I've also worked in communications, marketing, and PR and have served as a freelance contractor for numerous businesses and nonprofits over the years. I've handled content creation, such as SEO-driven website copy, newsletter and blog creation, social media messaging, as well as developing snappy slogans and branded taglines. I've handled numerous successful publicity campaigns, and consult businesses (especially in the F&B industry) on marketing and communications strategies.

By Melissa Reardon Verified, Lynn Wells, Hannah Leidy Verified, Brad Campbell| Our State Verified Rex Farrior looks out at the lawn of his restaurant, Happs Place Barn and Grill in Glenville. The sun shines above diners as they sip cocktails and eat Neapolitan-style pizzas covered with local mushrooms and tomatoes. Families play cornhole by an old red barn with a tin roof. One of the many bands that frequent the lawn’s stage welcomes the crowd. Before Farrior purchased the old Happs building and reopened the restaurant in 2021, he was a patron just like the people he now serves.
