Beans, berries and greens, oh my!

Calf at Baldwin Family Farms

It’s farm season. Baby animals and vegetables are abound on Carolina farms and it’s very exciting.  If you haven’t picked any berries yet, check out CFSA’s local food guide to find some. 

There’s a lot going on in the food and farming arena these days and we’re reviving these pixels (this blog) in order to keep local and organic food supporters in the loop. Stay tuned for food and farm action alerts, events, news, recipes and more.

Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, now over 1200 members, is fighting for our local farms. Just recently we’ve been to Washington to make sure sustainable agriculture is represented in food safety legislation, we’ve formed a regional coalition to harness our advocacy efforts and we hosted the nation’s largest sustainable farm tour, the annual Piedmont Farm Tour, in April. These efforts are making a difference. The tour attracted over 3500 visitors to 40 North Carolina Farms. We’re a partner in another tour coming up in just a couple weeks, the Family Farm Tour, featuring 38 farms throughout western North Carolina.

We’ll see you on the farm!
