🌳FEATURE FRIDAY: Alamance Farmers Market Promotion Program🌳On Feature Fridays, we feature PCC’s conservation projects.

Today, we highlight one of PCC’s agricultural sustainability projects in Alamance County, NC. This project created a streamlined, professional model for connecting farms, restaurants, and consumers to local food in Alamance County. It successfully launched three new farmers markets, two of which serve low-income neighborhoods, and saw increased engagement across all key metrics in 2020 and 2021. These gains included higher consumer turnout, more participating farm operations, and greater public knowledge around accessing and using local food. Looking ahead, Healthy Alamance is exploring initiatives like food boxes or a reduced-cost market model to further improve accessibility. - - - #AlamanceCounty #NorthCarolina #Piedmont #Conservation #NonProfit
