Organizations like the Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA and the Golden Leaf Foundation are helping area farmers transition from tobacco farms.

Abstract:
A sturgeon and caviar farm that was founded in 2004 in Happy Valley in Caldwell County, NC has just served its first sturgeon. The farm is the first in the state of North Carolina and only the fifth of its kind in the US. The farm raises Atlantic, Russian, and Siberian sturgeon and will sell its meat and caviar online, locally, and through a regional distributor. The process of raising the fish and the opinions of local chefs and consumers is explored.
