FROM THE EDITOR
RETURNING TO NORMAL
Thankfully , 2021 is marching right along , isn ’ t it ? I , for one , don ’ t mind putting as much distance between myself and 2020 as possible . Things are looking up — COVID-19 vaccinations continue to pick up , there are fewer active cases in Walker County and our hospitalizations rate has dropped low enough for us to slowly return to normal .
Now it ’ s time to take a break from all that . COVID-19 gets its mentions in our features , but only because there is virtually no facet of lives that has gone untouched by the pandemic . The virus , however , isn ’ t the main show . That honor goes to the men and women featured in these pages . Among them is a spotlight on the newly established Sam Houston Wine Trail . Southeast Texas is quickly becoming a hotbed for some of the best wines in Texas . The wine
Joseph Brown
trail , which features five stops in Walker County , is home to exquisite reds , whites and rosés .
Also featured in this issue is a spotlight on Hunziker Farms , a local favorite at area farmers markets . Owner Brian Hunziker goes behind the scenes as he prepares for the markets , which open this month in both Downtown Huntsville and at West Hill Mall .
This issue of Huntsville Living is our health and wellness edition . We bring you a Q & A about the myths of CBD and a health club that boasts an extreme workout to help locals reach new levels of wellness .
There ’ s lots of good , fun things packed into this issue of Huntsville Living . I hope you enjoy it all !
