Howse Photo
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Feb. 18, 2022) - North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University’s annual
tribute to small-scale agriculture will begin March 21
and will feature educational programs, panel
discussions, tours and the unveiling of a new Small
Farmer of the Year.
All
events will be virtual, and six satellite sites will
offer small, live “watch parties” for the mid-week Small
Farmers’ Appreciation Program. Warren, Martin, Columbus,
Madison, Stanly and Alleghany counties will serve as the
satellite sites.
Farmers and interested members of the public can
register free of charge for all events on our Small
Farms Week web page. Those interested in attending
events at the satellite locations should contact the
participating Extension Centers.

Small
Farms Week was launched in 1987 by Cooperative Extension
at N.C. A&T as a way to connect with small-scale
farmers—including minority farmers and those in
limited-resource communities—and 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. The theme for
this year’s celebration is “Changing Times, Growing
Seasons.” Video McNair
