Meghan Kincheloe is more than familiar with the Verde Valley and the surrounding region.
She grew up in Sedona but left the red rocks to come to Camp Verde so she and her family could find a piece of land to raise animals and grow some crops, activities that are pretty much in the surrounding area’s DNA.
“We’ve got pigs cows, turkeys, chickens and ducks,” Kincheloe said. “If we can eat it, we’re probably raising it.”
There’s also an entire garden, along with a number of fruit trees.
Kincheloe said she’s been in the area since she was the ripe old age of 1.
Last Thursday morning, she was enjoying the weather at Camp Verde’s Butler Park.
While a crew across the field was busy using a crane to install a new scoreboard at the town’s baseball field, Kincheloe was sitting on a blanket looking after two children.
There’s Cormac, who will be four by the time this finds its way to print, and Hazel, who is now around the same age Kincheloe was when she ended up in Sedona originally.
Kincheloe said she wanted her children to have names that were a little different.
