As consumer demand for local food increases during this crisis, so does the need for farmers to be working together.
NC Cooperative Extension’s Local Food Program Team is putting together two webinars, each focused on how local farmers are working together to meet this growing call for local food.
WEBINAR 1: Collaborative Farming/Multifarm Direct to Consumer Marketing
The first webinar, to be held on Monday, April 27, 2020 from 7 to 8:30 p.m., will highlight collaborative efforts of farmers that are not tied to a food hub. Panelists will include representatives of Vacationer Supported Agriculture, Piedmont Progressive Farmers Group, and Carolina Common Enterprise.
