Tour 31: 
Think Like an Entrepreneur  

Start this tour with a visit to Patterson Farms where they grow over 350 acres of tomatoes and produce and have a growing agri-tourism business.  The next stop will be Crackleberry Farm, where a dairy farmer makes value-added cheese and has a profitable pastured poultry operation.   After lunch, visit Reed Gold Mine, the site of the first documented gold find in the United States.  Walk through a gold mine, visit a working stamp mill and learn about historical mining equipment.  Our last stop will be at the North Carolina Research Campus, a private-public venture conducting the latest research on foods and nutrition using some of the most advanced equipment in the world for advances in biotechnology, nutrition and health.
