The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to support the development and marketing of a web-based trip planner that will help farmers and craft artists in western North Carolina reach the markets that will increase their earned income. The on-line trip planner will be created by HandMade in America and the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project and will complement the N.C. Arts Council’s HomegrownHandmade.com website that serves the Piedmont and Eastern regions of the state.
