Visit NC Farms

We recently received a copy of Discover North Carolina Farms – the 2009 Guide & Map to North Carolina Agritourism Farms.  The map shows all the participating farms, their contact information, directions, and their activities/offerings.  Stop by the NCC’s Reading Room to take a look, or check out their website, Visit NC Farms.
