Nash County is one of North Carolina's leading strawberry-producing counties, with growers supplying fresh berries to local markets and beyond. NC Cooperative Extension works with strawberry producers to provide research-based guidance on variety selection, disease and pest management, irrigation, and pre-plant soil preparation. Currently, the Nash County Horticulture Extension Agent serves as the NC State Extension liaison to the NC Strawberry Association, connecting Nash County growers with regional resources, research, and industry support.
