Growing Local

There's more to farming than planting and harvesting; a thriving farm needs a strong business plan. Paige Witherington and Justin Dansby from Pitch Pine Farm in Penrose, North Carolina focus on business during the winter months, including preparing documents for organic certification and developing a five-year plan for the farm. There are several resources for local farmers, including ASAP's Business of Farming conference on Saturday, Feb. 25. Find out more at: www.asapconnections.org
