APPALACHIA IN YOUR INBOX
ABOUT TIPPER
There are tons of things I could tell you about myself, but all you really need to know is I’m crazy in love with my home in Appalachia-the people, the food, the music, the colorful language, the sustainable lifestyle, the history, the soaring mountains, and the deep dark hollers. I hope you’ll join me as I do my best to celebrate and preserve Appalachia.
