The Sandhills AGInnovation Center is helping local farmers who’ve experienced a loss of business because of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also working to address the county’s food insecurity issues. The AGInnovation Center provides resources and guidance to help farmers expand their capabilities and reach new markets. Through its “Richmond Fresh” initiative, which is funded through a grant from Resourceful Communities, the AGInnovation Center will supply four communities around Richmond County with boxes of produce sourced from local farms. Those communities are: Ellerbe Grove, Mineral Springs, Norman and Dobbins Heights.
