Farm Promotion & Support

Economic development and tourism authorities, and friends: ASAP is proud to announce resources to help you connect with local farms.


Farms create jobs, increase our communities' tax revenue, attract visitors, and can help keep some of the 370 billion dollars tourists spend on food and drink in our local economies. In 2010 and beyond, ASAP strives to work with local governments and others interested in our region’s development, to support your work in this area. 

Farm Promotion and Support shares best practices. It is full of practical ideas from people in positions like yours. Download the free PDF.

 
Funding from Blue Ridge National Heritage Area helped make this project possible.
