Small Farmer Listservs

I have created several listservs for small farmers. My hope is that these lists will provide a forum for discussion, support, and networking among small farmers interested in sustainable agriculture in North Carolina (researchers and agricultural educators are also welcome!).

I invite you to post your burning questions and I hope that any list member with something to share on the topic will participate in the discussion so that we may learn from each other. I think the lists can also be useful for fostering cooperation among farmers for marketing, purchasing inputs (cover crop seeds, soil amendments, etc.), on-farm research, traveling to conferences and workshops, and generally just sharing ideas and supporting each other so that we can continue to grow our community of small farms. All messages are archived on the web (available to members only).

Available lists:

  • General sustainable agriculture - this is my announcement list, not for discussions; about 2000 subscribers
  • Growing small farms - about 450 subscribers
  • Pastured poultry - about 200 subscribers
  • Chatham beekeepers - about 260 subscribers
  • Cut flowers - about 75 subscribers
  • Chatham Marketplace pollinators - for volunteers who maintain the pollinator garden; about 50 subscribers

To subscribe to any list, email Debbie Roos and put "subscribe" in the subject line, and indicate which list(s) you want to subscribe to. I will sign you up and you will receive a welcome message with instructions and archive sites.

If you have any questions, contact Debbie Roos at 919-542-8202.
