National Farm City Week

November 16-25 is National Farm-City Week - - - a celebration of the relationships between rural and urban residents. Across North Carolina, the relationship between city life and farm life continues to grow more dynamic. Development is moving closer to farmland, and in many cases it’s replacing farmland. Still, agriculture remains North Carolina’s top industry. It generates more than $74 billion in income and driving the economies of small towns from the mountains to the coast.

Farm-City Week is Nov. 20-26

Farm-City Week is Nov. 20-26. Last night we attended Forsyth County's Farm-City Celebration at the Dixie Classic Fairground in Winston-Salem. National Farm-City Week begins this Friday and continues through Thanksgiving Day. The week is a celebration of the relationships between rural and urban residents. Across North Carolina, this relationship is becoming more dynamic as development moves closer to farmland, and in many cases onto former farmland. Farm-City Week is critical in promoting a greater understanding of agriculture and its connection to the foods we all enjoy.
