Abstract:

Organic farming is the fastest growing segment of agriculture in the nation. In North Carolina the demand of retailers is outrunning production. Sales of organic products are the fastest growing sector in the state's retail food industry. Raft Swamp Farm in Hoke County gives individuals interested in organic farming an opportunity to explore it before investing in land by leasing them one of eight three-acre incubator farms for less than $200 a month. Cruze explains how the program works.
