COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
SMALL FARMS
Limited resource
and minority farmers in Delaware have continued to try
to stay on the farm, but many have lost their sources
of income. Cooperative Extension works with these
farmers by suggesting ways to add value to normal
commodities, and by offering farmers new and
innovative products to market at roadside stands,
supermarkets and farmers markets.
Cooperative Extension conducts horticulture production
trials during the growing season at DSU’s Smyrna
Outreach and Research Center. Vegetable and floral trials
assist Delaware growers by providing tangible examples of
best agricultural practices. Workshops are conducted at the
Smyrna farm for interested small farm producers.
