Small Farms Week events are designed to provide educational opportunities, as well as, celebrate and recognize the contributions that small farmers make to the state of North Carolina.

A kick-off event preceding Small Farms Week takes place on March 20 in Murphy, the home of the 2019 Small Farmers of the Year, Harold and Nancy Long. As owners of Long Family Farms and Gallery, the Longs grow heirloom vegetables and tend heritage breeds of livestock on their diversified mountain farm. They also save seeds and assemble garden kits, which are sold to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and distributed to members of the tribe to help preserve traditional varieties and improve access to fresh produce.
