Boosting Wake County Agritourism: GRCVB Endorses Visit NC Farms App for Local Farm Businesses

The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau (GRCVB) is endorsing the Visit NC Farms app to its farm-related partners in Raleigh/Wake County. This app, unaffiliated with Visit North Carolina, was introduced in 2018 by the N.C. Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services and the N.C. Cooperative Extension. It currently includes 86 of 100 counties in North Carolina and over 1,500 agribusinesses.

The Visit NC Farms app's purpose is to link visitors and locals with local farms, fisheries, farmers' markets, and other agricultural attractions. It also shares details about community-supported agriculture programs for local produce. The app lists various farm-related activities and suggested day plans.

Users can use their location in the app to find nearby participating farms. The app's goal is to boost local agribusinesses and motivate people to interact with and support their local farming communities. This is part of a larger effort to enhance agritourism in North Carolina.

The Visit NC Farms app can be downloaded on both Apple and Android phones. It offers a chance for farm businesses in Wake County and statewide to reach more people and attract more visitors.

Wake County farm businesses interested in joining the app can reach out to the administrators. The GRCVB, the official marketing organization for Wake County, is actively urging its partners to use this opportunity to advertise their businesses and aid in the development of agritourism in the area.
