The Farm to Fork Picnic is not just delicious; it is also a fundraiser for agriculture and food system training programs at the Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS). CEFS’ Sustainable Agriculture Internship and Apprenticeship Programs inspire and equip a new generation of farmers and food system leaders to grow North Carolina’s local food system! 80% of former CEFS interns reported that they have worked in sustainable agriculture and/or food systems since completing the internship.
