Blueprint for a Profitable Mountain Farm

Feburary 3, 2012, Mayland Community College, Spruce Pine, NC

Are you looking to diversify into new operations on your small family farm? Trying to decide which ventures hold the most promise? Extension Agents here in the high country get this question frequently and have handpicked what they feel are some options with the potential for great success.

You will have options to attend session in any of the four tracks that we have arranged including livestock, fruits, vegetables and forest products. The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with lunch included in the $10 registration fee. Also included will be a resource notebook for you to take home with supplemental information.

For more information or the register call the Avery, Mitchell or Yancey Extension office.
