Event Description:
Join ACP for Part Two of our farm-focused workshop series — a powerful one-day session designed to help new and growing farm entrepreneurs take the next step.
This workshop will focus on sustainability, smart growth, and building partnerships that support your farm long-term. You’ll learn:
How to diversify your income with agritourism, value-added products, and farm events
Ways to scale your farm business without burning out
How to form strategic partnerships like co-ops, CSAs, and local networks.
We’re excited to welcome Roxanne Reed from Farm School on Wheels, who will lead this high-impact, interactive session built for real-world farm challenges.
We’re also pleased to have Mr. Howard Wallace from NC Cooperative Extension joining us. He will be available to share how the Extension supports local farmers through soil testing, business guidance, training programs, and agricultural expertise right here in Columbus County.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, this session will equip you with real tools, real stories, and real strategies to move your idea forward.
