Farm Land for Sale in North Carolina

North Carolina is one of the top farming states in the country. Beginning as a major tobacco and pork producer in the colonial era, North Carolina farmers first expanded into cotton after the Civil War and have since diversified their production tenfold while maintaining their connection to a centuries-long history of farming. Farm land for sale in North Carolina benefits from a history of agricultural development and economic support that have made farming an integral part of North Carolina’s economy. 

North Carolina’s 46,000 working farms provide almost 18 percent of the total job market in the state, as well as a wealth of diversity in crop, livestock, and aquaculture yields. North Carolina is the nation’s top producer of sweet potatoes, and ranks in the top five producers of turkeys, hogs, pigs, cucumbers, broilers, peanuts, cotton, bell peppers, and tobacco. Aquaculture farming is also on the rise in North Carolina, with open-system fish, soft crab, and oyster production projected to double in the next few years. North Carolina farm land for sale offers the opportunity to develop almost any kind of production with the support of an economic environment uniquely suited to farming.
 

Agricultural Land for Sale in North Carolina

Agriculture and agribusiness provide almost 18 percent of jobs for North Carolina residents, so it should be no surprise that North Carolina is one of the leading figures in the agricultural industry in the United States. North Carolina State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has been fueling cutting-edge research since North Carolina granted them land to develop a university in 1887 and the state's dedication to supporting North Carolina agricultural efforts has built agriculture in North Carolina into a near $100 billion industry. 

Agricultural land for sale in North Carolina runs a range of different environments, due to North Carolina’s prime location between the Appalachian Mountains and the East Coast. Central North Carolina’s piedmont produces red clay, a perfect fixture for pastureland and row crops. Heading toward the coast, you’ll find the eastern Blacklands, named for their dark, organic, high-yield and high-production soils, which facilitate any number of agricultural developments. Agricultural land for sale in North Carolina benefits from the state’s natural diversity and close proximity to ongoing agricultural research and education, making it an ideal investment for agricultural success.
