I have created several listservs for small farmers and other clients. My hope is that these lists will provide a forum for discussion, support, and networking among farmers and gardeners interested in sustainable agriculture in North Carolina (researchers and agricultural educators are also welcome!).
Â
I invite you to post your burning questions and I hope that any list member with something to share on the topic will participate in the discussion so that we may learn from each other. I think the lists can also be useful for fostering cooperation among farmers for marketing, purchasing inputs (cover crop seeds, soil amendments, etc.), on-farm research, traveling to conferences and workshops, and generally just sharing ideas and supporting each other so that we can continue to grow our community of small farms.
Available lists:
- General sustainable agriculture - this is my announcement list, not for discussions; subscribers receive info about educational programs and other news relevant to agriculture and farming
- Growing small farms - about 850 subscribers
- Chatham Marketplace pollinators - for volunteers who maintain the pollinator garden; about 120 subscribers
- Chatham forestry - for Chatham County forest landowners; about 450 subscribers
To subscribe to any list, email Debbie Roos and put "subscribe" in the subject line, and indicate which list(s) you want to subscribe to.
If you have any questions, contact Debbie Roos at 919-542-8244.
