Edible Earthscapes, Old Milburnie Farm, Gold Finch Design & Gardens

Thanks to the amazing support from our sponsors and the Triangle community all five presenters were able to take home funds for their projects. Plus, some money was kept to help sustain future Funds to Farms events.

The strength of this community and its commitment to local foods is the reason that these farmers now have some extra money to help improve their businesses. Thanks to each of you for all that you do for local food!

Thanks especially to our five presenters; it was wonderful to hear each of your stories, ideas and passion for sustainable agriculture.

Next Funds to Farms: May 12 in Charlotte, NC

Please consider supporting these farmers and local foods by supporting both the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association and Slow Money NC.
