Carolina Farm Stewardship Association

What are CFSA’s key program areas? 1) Technical Assistance: We provide farmers and food hubs with the support, resources, and hands-on assistance they need to be resilient, profitable, and productive. CFSA’s Technical Assistance Program areas include Farm Food Safety, Organic Production, Conservation Planning, Climate Resilience, High Tunnel Production, and Market Access. 2) Education: We host conferences, workshops, meetups, and farm tours to keep farmers and food systems stakeholders engaged, connected, and informed. CFSA’s signature events include the Sustainable Agriculture Conference, the Piedmont Farm Tour, and the Organic Commodities & Livestock Conference. 3) Advocacy: We train food and farming community leaders, drive local, state, and national policies, and coalition-build for strong, thriving fair food and farming systems.

How does CFSA’s work impact local food consumers? CFSA’s work with farmers empowers you to know what’s in your food, because being organic means being fully traceable from farm to fork. We help strengthen community food security programs so more people have access to locally grown, organic food. CFSA works to build more environmentally conscious food production and distribution systems that benefit you, our community, and our planet.
