Collapse ▲Dear grape and wine community in NC,
COVID-19 has shut down tasting rooms, events and restaurants throughout the state. Many of you are already hurting, especially under the premise that we can expect several weeks or months of potential closure. In California, state and local orders reinforce prohibition on on-site consumption. The NC Grape and Wine Council is working with the the NC Grape and Wine Associations in the state and with WineAmerica to mitigate some of the economical damage as good as possible. If you are not member of the associations, please find information here:
- North Carolina Muscadine Grape Growers Association
- NC Winegrowers Association
- French Broad Vignerons

Internet Connectivity Survey NC Farm Bureau:
The North Carolina Broadband Infrastructure Office, with the Friday Institute at NC State University, is conducting a five-minute survey to gather data on internet connectivity from North Carolina farmers. The survey was developed in part from information gathered during NC Farm Bureau Federation listening sessions conducted with local farmers and agriculture partners. The data will be used to inform research, policy and funding recommendations to assist communities where internet access is inadequate. The current survey will run until April 30. This survey is meant to be taken only by farmers, or their employees, about their farms. LINK to the Survey: NC State Internet Connectivity Survey
