"Where are we going next with the farm? That's a whole other story. The younger generation is working very diligently to take the farm into the future," Karen shared with BravoTV.com in an April 2022 interview.
More recently, on Episode 7, which aired on December 17, Karen revealed to Candiace Dillard Bassett and Nneka Ihim that she bought her grandmother's home in Surry County.
"It took me almost a year to get my aunt Val to agree to sell me a piece of her land — praise God!" Karen shared in a confessional interview."My grandmother's home is 104 years old. It certainly is historical, it certainly is a warm and loving place; so I am turning that into an experience, which is a mini resort for tourism in Surry County, Virginia."
Karen added: "My [recent birthday] made me think: 'What am I leaving? What type of legacy am I leaving?' I ain't goin' nowhere anytime soon, mind y'all, but I do think about the legacy."
