Within the five county Kerr-Tar Region (Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance, and Warren), we have the ability to feed our population healthy food from our own local farms, thereby helping to address many of our region’s pressing economic, food security, and health needs. In 2019 the Kerr-Tar Regional Food Policy was enacted with the intention to provide a strategy for growing a sustainable regional food system, encompassing sustainable food production, processing, distribution, marketing, consumption, and waste management.
