Small Farms Week 2020
Because our face-to-face event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re sharing content – messages from dignitaries and educational resources – online for Small Farms Week 2020.
Several of the individuals who were scheduled to speak have provided written messages for the small farmers of North Carolina. They express sincere appreciation that we all share for the important contributions small farmers make to the state’s economy and well-being.
