This Golden LEAF grant will assist Caswell County Cooperative Extension with its efforts to work with Matkins Meat Processors, Inc. to assist area livestock farmers with producing value-added products such as hot dogs and sausages. The ability of farmers to produce value-added goods will allow them to reach additional markets, increase farm income, and remain in business. Matkins Meats is a 51-year old, family-owned business that currently serves over 100 North Carolina farmers.
