Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler sits down each week with Southern Farm Network’s Rhonda Garrison to discuss “Today’s Topic.”
This week, Commissioner Troxler and Rhonda discuss three resources North Carolinians can use to find locally grown food near them.
The website www.NCFarmFresh.com allows consumers to search for farms, farmers markets, roadside stands and garden centers. The database is searchable by commodity, county or region.
Another resource, the Produce Availability Chart, is a handy guide to the growing seasons for 25 major commodities produced in the state.
For a hands-own approach to finding locally grown food, visit one of the five state-run farmers markets. Markets are located in Asheville, Charlotte, Colfax (near Greensboro) and Raleigh.
