A congressman like no other, Thomas raises pastured beef, butchers chickens during congressional breaks, and forages for wild mushrooms on his familial lands. His family built their own off-grid homestead in the foothills of Kentucky.

He has a passion for real food. Thomas and Rhonda have, even during college, grown food every year they have been together. He also has a passion for restoring freedom to America’s farmers and food artisans, introducing the PRIME act among many other pieces of important legislation to Congress.
