Discovering NC Agriculture is a social media series focusing on N.C. grown, raised, caught, and made commodities. Originally started in 2025, this series has been renewed to run for another year! Tune in each month to see how an N.C. commodity is grown, harvested, packed for consumer use and more. Learn nutritional value, find fun recipes to try, hear from local chefs who use that product, and other unique commodity facts throughout the series. We look forward to helping you better understand some of our N.C. commodities and how they impact your everyday lives!
Behind every North Carolina crop is a farmer who knows the land, watches the weather and puts in the work to bring in a successful harvest. At Double Dee Farms in Columbia, that work means growing potatoes, corn and soybeans.
In this edition of Discovering N.C. Agriculture, fourth-generation farmer Danielle Carawan gives us a closer look at just what it takes to bring the produce we love to market. Every field has a purpose. Every harvest has a story. And behind it all are North Carolina farmers like Danielle working to keep food moving from their farms to families across our state and beyond.
Just think, when you pop open that bag of your favorite chips, you could be eating a potato grown right down the road! To learn more about North Carolina potatoes, visit the N.C. Potato Association online at https://ncpotatoes.org/.
Grown. Raised. Caught. Made. When you want the best, it’s Got to Be NC!
