Collapse ▲The Chatham County Spring Ag Fest on March 23, 2024, was a success with a great crowd in attendance in spite of intermittent rain throughout part of the event. The Spring Ag Fest is a celebration of Chatham County’s agriculture, forestry, and natural resources. Visitors enjoyed over 60 indoor and outdoor exhibits highlighting local farms, farmers’ markets, sustainable agriculture, agricultural support and advocacy, agribusiness, beekeeping, livestock, forestry, green industry, wildlife, conservation, and much more. Visitors enjoyed watching several events at the Livestock Arena, including a Parade of Breeds for Beef and Dairy Cattle, a dog herding demonstration, and games for the kids.
Visit the web page for full details of the event including a list of exhibitors and events.
I posted photos from the 2024 Chatham County Ag Fest on Flickr. (Click on the first photo then click on the diagonal arrows icon in the upper right of the screen to enlarge the photo.)
This event was made possible by the collaborative efforts of the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Chatham County Center, Chatham County Agriculture & Conference Center, Chatham County Farm Bureau, Chatham County Government, Chatham County Soil & Water, Farm Service Agency, and the NC Forest Service.
Below are a few photos from the event. Visit the Flickr Photo album to see many more!
Dog trainer Claire Apple of Not Quite Right Farm did a fun, entertaining, and educational dog herding demonstration with her Shetland sheepdogs and heritage breed turkeys. Ten year old Glinda could make those turkeys go wherever Claire asked her to put them! Photo by Debbie Roos.
Six year old Panzer Potato had a little different style than his mom Glinda…let’s just say a little less calm but very effective! Photo by Debbie Roos.
