Local Farm Tour...
Beam Family Farm
The RAFI Project Showcase Tour is Sat., Nov. 19 at 11:30 AM. Young farmers are changing the face of Cleveland County agriculture by focusing on specialty crops, value-added products, sustainable and organic production systems, and marketing strategies that help them capture a larger share of the food dollar. 
 
The RAFI-USA Project Showcase Tour will highlight the accomplishments of four local farmers who received cost-share grants from the Tobacco Communities Reinvestment Fund to implement projects that have created new sources of agricultural income. 
 
Coordinated by NC Cooperative Extension and Tour Cleveland County, the tour is targeted to other farmers who wish to learn from these young entrepreneurs. Local chefs and caterers seeking to source local ingredients, and other local food enthusiasts are also invited to attend. Cost is $20 per person, which includes lunch and motor coach transportation to the showcase farms.  To purchase your tickets, visit tourclevelandcounty.com.
