National Farm City Week is always designated the week before Thanksgiving. It is the perfect time of year to stop and think about where your food comes from. North Carolina farmers work tirelessly to produce an abundance of food and are served by a variety of businesses in our community. This year’s local Farm City celebration organized by N.C. Cooperative Extension, Forsyth County Center will take place on November 5 & 6, 2018, and includes a bus tour to NC State University, local tours to area farms and businesses, an information fair, and a banquet.
