Creating a Path for Farming in North Carolina

AgrAbility is a federally-funded grant program through the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute for Food Safety (USDA-NIFA). NC AgrAbility is currently an affiliate program of the National AgrAbility Project.

Our Purpose

NC AgrAbility assists farmers or farmworkers struggling mentally or physically to remain in, or Veterans entering into, production agriculture in all 100 North Carolina counties and on tribal lands. NC AgrAbility works with farmers and farmworkers to assist them with remaining active in production agriculture. NC AgrAbility networks and coordinates assisted services, educates farmers and farmworkers on how to prevent secondary injury and how to be safe while in production, and works with partners to recommend equipment and modifications. NC AgrAbility also assists with aging in place planning for farmers and farmworkers so they can adjust their activities to meet capacities and remain working and independent.

Our Mission

NC AgrAbility assists farmers, ranchers, farmworkers, and Veterans in agriculture struggling mentally or physically to remain in production agriculture.  NC AgrAbility works with farmers, farmworkers, and Veterans to Ag to address physical and mental barriers, renew hope, and restore and maintain productivity.
