RALEIGH, N.C. — Up to five North Carolina communities will receive support to develop incubator farms to attract new farmers, due to an effort by the Center for Environmental Farming Systems. Incubator farms provide aspiring farmers with a place to learn, try their hand at farming and develop the markets to make their own operations successful. The new Incubator Farm Project that will support beginning farmers is an integral part of the 10 Percent Campaign, a CEFS initiative that encourages consumers, businesses, institutions and agencies to spend 10 percent of their food dollars on locally produced foods.
