NC Farmers Market Promotion

Year Funded

2017

Amount

$100,000

This cost-share project will partner with farmers markets across the state to promote in-season fresh fruits and vegetables available throughout the market’s season. The promotion will include a cooperative cost-sharing agreement between the markets and NCDA&CS as well as a general targeted promotion in selected urban areas to encourage shopping at the markets. The project will enhance competitiveness of the NC produce industry and will increase foot traffic and sales of locally grown and produced products.
