About FranCee Farms

Our story began in December of 2016, when my husband accepted the call to serve West Edgecombe Baptist Church as their Pastor. He left for Rocky Mount ahead of us so that the kids could finish their school year, and almost immediately began looking for our next home. Not being able to find anything, he started exploring land and our ability to build a home, but land was extremely expensive in the area, so we were really not getting anywhere. Then he received a phone call from a lady that owned some land roughly 4 miles from the church (38 acres). Knowing that we could not afford that land, he politely declined, to which she responded, "but you don't know what I am willing to sell it for." She went on to say that she would be willing to sell it for at a price that could have only been influenced by God! He insisted on meeting with her and her sons so that no one would be offended by the sale, after all, she was in her late 80's or early 90's at the time. After we met with one of her sons and her, they all agreed to sell the property for $500.00 per acre because, "that's what momma wanted to do" they said. We were honored. During the few months it took to close, she went on to be with the Lord. However, her family honored the sale and that is how we got started. Her name: Francis Carlton. Her home, heaven. Our name after her...FranCee Farms.Read their story
