SHELBY COUNTY — A family farm in Shelby County is helping cancer patients across the country with their products."Well we've done a lot of different things," Bass said."Sheep and cows, and oh I guess a couple of pigs, and goats, and a little bit of, chickens and everything.""A product farm," Bass said."I don't know, it's kind of come full circle.
Somewhere between selling it at the farmers market and today, people began using it for things other than to treat diaper rash, including burns from radiation treatments.Bass says oncologists, one in particular, began taking notice. Cancer patients started recommending the Tripe B Cream from Bass Farms on national cancer support Facebook groups and pages. Hospitals started carrying the goat milk cream in their gift shops and providing samples to patients undergoing radiation.
"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the left breast," Donaldson said."Twenty weeks of chemo and 25 rounds of radiation." "The product seems so small to me," Bass said"But the cancer patients, we get emails everyday, that it's huge to them."
