Congratulations to Aza Shelby and Addison O’Cain!
The South Carolina Agritourism Association is proud to recognize Aza Shelby and Addison O’Cain as recipients of this year’s scholarship. Both have demonstrated an incredible work ethic and commitment to agriculture through their time at Livingston Farms in Woodford, where they each worked for more than two years throughout high school.
Their dedication to the farm hasn’t stopped with graduation. Even while pursuing their college educations, both Aza and Addison continue to return during summer and fall breaks to lend a hand and help keep the farm moving. Their willingness to work hard, learn, and give back is exactly what makes the next generation of agriculture so exciting.
Aza is currently attending Clemson University, pursuing a path toward veterinary medicine, while Addison is attending Newberry College. We are incredibly proud of both of them and grateful for the time, energy, and heart they have poured into Livingston Farms and South Carolina agriculture.
Congratulations Aza and Addison on this well-deserved scholarship! We can’t wait to see where your hard work takes you.
