Carolina Farm Trust is a nonprofit organization focused on supporting small, community farmers in the Carolinas by helping them access essential resources. The group assists local producers with purchasing equipment, leasing or acquiring land, and increasing market reach through creative campaigns designed to connect farmers with customers. Its work aims to reduce the risks and costs associated with farming and to bring more locally produced food to the tables of the region. Headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina, the organization operates within the nonprofit sector dedicated to farming and food security. It also hosts the annual Carolina Jubilee, a festival in Harmony, North Carolina that celebrates local food and music and fosters community interest in the sources of what people eat. Recent activity highlights collaborations with academic and community partners, including a partnership with UNC Nutrition Research Institute to explore spring harvests on local urban farms.
