New Farmer Incubation Program Launches!
Supporting the Next Generation of WNC Farmers
WNC From the Ground Up is proud to launch a new farmer incubation program designed to support beginning farmers as they grow their operations, build skills, and access real markets—all without the burden of startup costs.
Too often, new farmers face overwhelming barriers: limited access to land, lack of equipment, steep learning curves, and no clear path to market. Our new program helps change that.
While participating, potential new farmers will have the opportunity to learn side-by-side with knowledgeable, experienced growers—gaining insight, confidence, and real-world agricultural skills. They’ll also have access to real markets through our food hub, WNC Farm to Table, including retail, wholesale, and food security channels like HOP, MANNA, and FarmsSHARE.
For more information, please email Lisa@wncfromthegroundup.org or call 828.307.3055.
