Agriculture Recovery Fair

FEMA, State, USDA Team to host Agriculture Recovery Fairs

In Henderson County, the Recovery Fair will be held on Tuesday, January 28, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Dana Community Center, 2879 Upward Road, Flat Rock NC 28731 

One-day Agriculture Recovery Centers are planned to help North Carolina farmers recover from Helene damage

The walk-through events will provide information on addressing agricultural or rural needs not covered by standard programs offered by FEMA or the state, and offer opportunities for farmers, ranchers, nursery owners, vineyards, honeybee growers and fish producers to meet with agricultural officials to learn about assistance available. 

The centers have specifically trained representatives of FEMA; the U.S. Department of Agriculture; North Carolina Department of Commerce; North Carolina Department of Agriculture; U.S. Small Business Administration; local Farm Service Agency officials; and other government agencies to assist agricultural workers with their recovery needs.  Please bring evidence of ownership, or photos of damaged or lost tools and equipment, along with estimated replacement costs to expedite your application.  .
