Innovative Practices Lead to Small Farmer of the Year Award

At the age of 40, Mike Jones finally had enough resources to buy land in Franklin County and pursue his dream of owning his own farm. He came from a farming background, but the family lost its farm in the 1950s and since then, family members had worked as sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Fifteen years ago, he bought a 73-acre abandoned tobacco farm and turned it into a successful agricultural operation called MAE Farm. Today, he is the 2021 N.C. Small Farmer of the Year, a recognition awarded annually by Cooperative Extension at North Carolina A&T State University as part of Small Farms Week.
