When I first started exploring the Appalachians of North Carolina virtually I stumbled across Tipper’s blog Blind Pig & the Acorn. If you dig deep into my archives, you’ll find many a mention of her and her daughters. I just discovered that Tipper started a YouTube channel this past summer. Here is her video on the secret to good cornbread. I was happy to see she makes unsweetened cornbread… so maybe my preference for unsweetened cornbread is actually in my genes… Have a watch and a listen. subscribe to her channel and go read Blind Pig & the Acorn…
Welcome! Glad you stopped by and hope you stop by often as I celebrate my Appalachian Heritage.
My name is Tipper Pressley. I was born and raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina. I’ve always had a great love and appreciation for my rich Appalachian culture and heritage. In March of 2008 I started the Blind Pig & the Acorn blog in an effort to preserve and celebrate Appalachia.
