Incubator Farms are a developing concept in North Carolina, inspired by the successes of Vermont's Intervale Project.  The incubator farm concept offers a relatively low risk entry avenue for beginning farmers in need of land and resources to develop their business in a cooperative environment with other producers. 

Below are farms that offer a variation of this model to farmers just starting out:

Raft Swamp Farms (Hoke County)

Maverick Farms (Watauga County)

Breeze Farm (Orange County)
