Agri trails in North Carolina showcase state’s natural riches
A series of agricultural trails throughout North Carolina will show you a great place to go cherry picking, explore an artist’s studio, or find the perfect antique. Launched in Raleigh during the latter part of June, the web site www.homegrowmHandmade.com offers self-directed statewide driving trails that include art galleries, horse farms, u-pick farming operations, and restaurants that feature local fare. The 16 trails currently wind through 16 of North Carolina’s 100 counties.
“Crossroads, patri-arts and native ways” highlights offerings in Cumberland, Bladen, Harntt, Johnston, and Robeson counties. A few of the 109 Cumberland county sites on the trail are Auman Vineyards which offers grape-picking; Just claying around where visitors can create their own painted pottery; The market which offers regional handmade goods and the North Carolina Workhorse and Mule Association Annual Corn Planting Day, held in Linden. “The program offers an opportunity for smaller farms and organizations to market their service or product,” says George Autry, Cumberland County Extension Director. “Additionally the trails offer a wonderful sense of place, letting visitors see a side of Cumberland County they may not have considered previously.”
HomegrownHandmade is an alliance of arts and agriculture throughout North Carolina and was formed when the North Carolina Arts Council and NC Cooperative Extension Service received a grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation. The grant designated funds for a project aimed at stimulating sustainable tourism and the state’s natural riches.
