Tour 18: 
Sandhills Agri-tourism

Tour sponsored by SARE.

The agri-tourism industry is one of the fastest growing industries in NC. On this tour, you will see how farmers are adapting their farming practices to profit from the urban population. The Goat Lady Dairy is one of the oldest and most successful agri-tourism farms in NC. This working goat dairy is known for its wide variety of cheeses that are produced on farm.  Our next stop will be Carter Farms, a 1000-acre family owned farm that blends traditional row-crops with produce that is marketed directly from the farm.  Next we will visit Garret Johnson’s Peach Orchards that direct markets fruit and produce. Finally, Crystal Pines Alpaca Farm is a livestock farm that concentrates on educating school and tour groups about the Alpaca Industry and conservation farming with their hands-on approach.
