Dear Friends,
This year has been an exciting whirlwind of research, collaboration, and innovative engagement made possible by our active community and Program Friends. We extend a heartfelt thank you to those who have helped support this program through donations, volunteer work, and by attending our many workshops and classes.
At NC Alternative Crops & Organics, we’re honored to serve our community in many different ways. As we look back on the past twelve months, we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together.
Check out some our highlights from 2025 below!

This work only happens because of you. Whether you spent a morning weeding the hopyard, joined us for a chilly training session at the NC State Demonstration Forest Farm, or shared our videos with a neighbor - you put in the work with us.
As we reflect on this productive year with appreciation, we also look toward 2026 and beyond with optimism. Help us build on this momentum and extend our impact! If you are in a position to give, please consider a year-end donation to help us keep North Carolina’s farms innovative and sustainable. |

Warmly,
Jeanine Davis and Team Jeanine
