Hensley, Bill F.

The agricultural business is not as profitable as it once was; therefore, farmers are seeking other income sources in order to survive. One new source of income is agritourism. Farmers show off their farms and sell their crops, crafts, and goods while educating and entertaining an interested and curious public. Hensley describes several agritourism farms, including Darnell Farms (Bryson City); Mike's Farm (Beulaville); and Goat Lady Dairy (Siler City).

Orange and other North Carolina counties are increasingly debating who’s a farmer, and who deserves the privileges afforded to farmers. Some farms occasionally serve as wedding or party venues. Opposition to such farms claim they commodify the farming community and threaten to destroy its centuries-old way of life.
