“…WBTV has learned it is about to see better days again. “Well, my big, big vision is this is the first step of really building a food system that feeds Charlotte,” Zack Wyatt, who is the executive director of the Carolina Farm Trust, said.
Carolina Farm Trust works to preserve and promote farmland.
The organization is partnering with Aldersgate, the east Charlotte retirement community, and together they are building an urban farm in the Windsor Park neighborhood of east Charlotte.
“So an urban farm is very different than a community garden. That’s what many people think it is. An urban farm has to be an actual working farm with a farm manager, Erin Barber, of Aldersgate, said.”
The Carolina Jubilee Festival is a two-day, annual music event, with the mission of providing support for the Farm-to-Table Initiative, with locally produced food and beverages. The event will be held on September 28–29, 2018, at Vanhoy Farms in Harmony, NC. We are also incorporating a 5K/10K Run the morning of September 29.
This event will feature local and national music acts, farm-to-table restaurants that support NC sustainable farms, Primal Brewery and Fullsteam Brewery, and a variety of NC distilleries and vineyards. All participating vendors will be local or regional businesses, keeping the vision and mission consistent over all aspects of the event.
By purchasing a ticket and attending this event, you are directly impacting your community and supporting local agriculture. And, with your support, we will be able to execute our mission of protecting farmland and fostering an ecosystem of sustainable farming. We are dedicated to working directly with the small farming community to get money in the dirt and assist them in becoming profitable, sustainable farms. And this super fun event helps us in doing just that. So come on out and join us in the fun!
