Lately I have read many articles on the success and development of small farms and agri-businesses across the country. Key to the success of these operations is on-site processing of the agricultural products to add value. For example, rather than simply raising goats, the farmer would collect the milk, process to cheese and potentially retail on site. Another example was a farmer growing hops and barley for an on-site microbrewery.
A nearby example would include grape growing and wine production in the Yadkin Valley.
