Small Farms Week
Small Farms Week (SFW) is an annual, statewide celebration presented by the Cooperative Extension at North Carolina A&T State University, dedicated to recognizing and empowering limited-resource, part-time, and small-scale farmers. This week-long initiative brings together growers, industry leaders, and agricultural advocates for a dynamic lineup of expert-led workshops, panel discussions, and community events designed to foster education, connection, and growth. Beyond exploring innovative farming techniques for more profitable and sustainable operations, the week serves to honor the resilience of local growers through statewide activities, culminating in the highly anticipated naming of the Small Farmer of the Year. Whether you are a seasoned farmer or a community supporter, Small Farms Week offers a welcoming opportunity to learn, network, and celebrate the vital impact of small-scale agriculture.
