Rétroviseur

Rétroviseur Our story…

Mark was 13 when his father had a major stroke. He used this scholarship, along with earnings from part-time jobs to graduate from Penn State.

Working alongside his mother, he “stepped up” as the oldest son taking over duties on the farm until his father could return. His mother instilled in him that education was the key to moving forward from an area so dependent on a dying steel industry and agriculture. As a senior in high school, Mark was awarded a scholarship based on merit, need, and work ethic by a local service organization. Mar

k and I retired to Clemmons NC, after careers in the agricultural equipment industry and interior design. We returned to our roots and purchased a small farm, RearView Acres on which we grow lavender and blackberries. During the recent pandemic, we started donating blackberries to the Clemmons Food Pantry and Mark found a place to volunteer. Rétroviseur was established in 2023. Our profits provide scholarships at Forsyth Tech using the same criteria by which Mark earned his scholarship: merit, need, and work ethic with education being the key to moving forward in life. We established RearView Acres and Rétroviseur (Rearview mirror in French) with the goal of “paying it forward through the rearview”. We invite you to join us and watch our story evolve…

How does career in interior design career plus a career in the agriculture industry equal a boutique at Your Home Marketplace?

My husband and I grew up on family farms in western Pennsylvania. Along with agriculture, this area was entirely dependent on the steel industry, labor unions and supporting businesses.

In high school, Mark was awarded a scholarship was based on merit, need and work ethic. After graduation from Penn State, he went on to a 40-year career in the agricultural industry.

I sewed my first 4H project in first grade. I was always awarded a “blue ribbon” but could not follow a pattern if my life depended on it. Changing pattern, color or design was what I lived for and who followed directions?!? I spent my career in interior design always chasing an outlet for my creativity. What I discovered was…I should have been a boutique owner my whole life!

We retired, returned to our roots, purchased our farm RearView Acres, and established Rétroviseur with the purpose of “giving back through the rear view”. Our profits go to a scholarship fund at Forsyth Tech using the same criteria by which Mark earned his scholarship: merit, need, and work ethic with education being the key to move forward in life.

Thank you for supporting our small business.
