Central Carolina Community College's Natural Chef graduates (from left) Katie and Margo Bennett, a daughter-mother pair from Chatham County, have used the Advanced Culinary Incubator at Central Carolina Community College's Chatham County Campus, in Pittsboro, to help launch their new businesses. Margo, who owns a small sustainable farm with her husband, Shelly Bennett, has recently started Sourced by Bennett Farming, a culinary procurement business that buys local, seasonal farm products then sells them to area restaurants and retailers.
