Discover North Carolina Farms Map

A new way to locate North Carolina agritourism farms is now available via a full-color, fold-out map. The “Discover NC Farms” map has been published and is available at many locations throughout our state, including the Welcome Centers, county extension offices, tourism offices, and farmers’ markets. Tourists and visitors will find these maps an excellent resource to carry with them on their day trips and weekend vacations. The 'glovebox-sized' map supplements the online agritourism resources available at http://www.visitncfarms.com/.

Featuring 213 farms and vineyards/wineries, many of which are ANA members or Goodness Grows farms, the maps are up-to-date with 2009 entertainment and recreational opportunities. To obtain your own copy of the map, contact Martha Glass, Manager at (919) 733-7887, ext. 276, or by e-mail at martha.glass@ncagr.gov. The free maps can be delivered individually, in packages of 25, or in boxes of 300.

The “Discover NC Farms” map project was supported by a grant from the Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, and also received support from the NCDA&CS Marketing Division and the North Carolina Agritourism Networking Association.
