The N.C. Cooperative Extension’s Small Farms Week begins Monday, Mar. 24 in Warren County, home of last year’s Small Farmer of the Year Patrick Brown of Brown Family Farms.
The kickoff event begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Warren County Armory Civic Center and includes a catered lunch, panel discussion and will culminate with a tour of Brown Family Farms.
Registration is required.
Small Farms Week is N.C. A&T State University’s annual tribute to small-scale agriculture. It will be held the week of March 24-28. The theme, “Next Gen Agriculture” will highlight the evolving farming practices and new technologies designed for environmental sustainability and resilience in this era of climate change. General registration for the luncheon is $35 and can be paid online through the registration link.
Small Farms Week was launched in 1987 by Cooperative Extension at N.C. A&T as a way to connect with small-scale farmers and those in limited-resource communities to ensure they receive the latest research-based information on farming techniques, new tools and technologies. It also gives the public a chance to meet their agricultural neighbors and learn about farm operations and food production.
