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:
- Small farms and sustainable agriculture - about 250 subscribers
- Pastured poultry - about 130 subscribers
- Beekeeping - about 135 subscribers
- Cut flowers - about 30 subscribers
I also have a general list - "sustagchatham" - that I use for announcements. It is not for discussion. I use it to inform subscribers of educational opportunities, grants, interesting articles, etc.
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.
