Each year, Cooperation Extension at N.C. A&T celebrates the crucial role of small farmers in North Carolina’s $91 billion agriculture sector with Small Farms Week. 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 women and farmers of color 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. This year’s celebration theme is “Changing Times, Growing Seasons.”

The week will begin with a kickoff event Monday, March 21st in Franklin County, the home of the 2021 Small Farmer of the Year Mike Jones, owner and operator of MAE Farm in Louisburg. Events will begin at 9 a.m. and will include a panel discussion with local farmers and a tour of MEA Farm. Live attendance at the kickoff will be limited because of COVID-19 safety protocols and events will be webcast.
