Fresh From the Heart of North Carolina
Greensboro Farmers Market Vendors, are you eligible for Piedmont Grown certification?
Piedmont Grown is a certification program that wants to make sure that farm products grown, raised, and made in the Piedmont Region are clearly identified and promoted everywhere you buy food and farm fresh products. Their Mission is to promote local food systems through the certification of food and farm products grown or raised in 37 counties in the North Carolina Piedmont Region. We want to link consumers to local farm fresh foods, build local markets for farmers and food entrepreneurs, and grow healthy and prosperous communities.
The certification program allows you to use the Piedmont Grown brand and logo as part of your marketing efforts. Within the coming year, Piedmont grown plans to offer mini-grants to help support your efforts to highlight Piedmont Grown products in your marketing program. In addition, they hope to develop a regional farm to trade program that brings together producers, farmers, chefs, institutional food service professionals, food brokers and wholesalers, as well as retail grocers.
