Welcome to the North Carolina Soil Health Coalition!

Becoming a member of the Coalition means that you are helping the organization carry out its mission of regenerating healthy soils in North Carolina through farmer-driven education and networking. We’re excited that you’ve joined us and look forward to both learning from you and providing you with resources that benefit your farm! 

The Soil Health Coalition is farmer-led, so please contact the Board of Directors if you’d like to be involved in committees or if you have ideas and resources that may benefit other farmers in the Coalition. Our goal is to support one another as we work to build healthy soils and ecosystems on our farms. Productive, resilient farms are built on healthy soil!

What’s Next?

First, please make sure you are receiving emails from the Coalition’s email address, info@ncsoilhealth.org, so you have the latest information about soil health events and resources. If you don’t see an email from us, check your junk or spam folder and add us to your trusted senders.

Also, text SOIL to (833) 692-5523 to receive event reminders via text message to make sure you’re always aware of upcoming events and opportunities!

Upcoming events are also listed on the events calendar on our website. Your membership gains you:

  • Free access to our monthly Soil Health Hour virtual meetings and recordings

  • Free admission to all soil health field day events

  • One free ticket to our Annual Meeting

In addition, you will receive an invitation to join our Soil Health Coalition Member Forum on Facebook where members can ask soil health-related questions, share advice and resources, and share exciting progress from their farms. We encourage you to use the forum to stay connected with other farmers from across the state who are also focused on building healthy soils!

Our Soil Health Service Provider directory can be accessed here: Soil Health Service Providers. The directory will connect you with service providers in North Carolina, the Southeast, and across the U.S. that offer resources to assist your farm, such as cover crop seed, fencing and livestock supplies, soil testing, and other equipment. Many of these companies and organizations have provided direct support to the Coalition and we hope they can assist you in meeting your goals. Please let us know if you’ve worked with a trusted provider that is missing from our list!

We’re excited that you have joined the North Carolina Soil Health Coalition! We are all learning and growing together as we work to improve our farms and build the soil! We look forward to your leadership and involvement as a member of the Coalition!
