Collapse ▲Who we are
A community of agents, university specialists, and local farmers utilizing the resources of local county extension offices, the Ag Resource and Economic Department at NC State University, and local farmers.
The NC Farm School Program
Eight business-planning seminars taught by extension specialist, agents, and experienced farmers. These sessions give students the tools to create viable farm business plans over a 4-month time frame. The school is easy to fit into a busy schedule by providing one class every other week and each business session focuses on different areas of a business plan. The goal of NC Farm School is to allow a pathway of success for farmers to generate profitable businesses. The program also includes five field trips to working farms led by innovative, experienced farmers and agricultural professionals. Participants learn economically sustainable farming methods in a range of production systems, including fruits, vegetables, specialty crops, poultry, animal husbandry, and agritourism. One key feature of NCFS is our Mentoring program for graduating participants. NCFS has successfully matched every mentee applicant with a successful farmer mentor. Sign up for the 2019 NC Farm School
