COLUMBIA — A new farm incubator program at the Clemson University Sandhill Research and Education Center in Columbia will open small plots for startup farmers to begin growing their businesses.
The program is accepting applicants to grow fruits, vegetables and specialty crops on half-acre irrigated plots under the tutelage of Clemson Extension farming and agribusiness experts. The program expects to accept five or six aspiring entrepreneurs in its inaugural season, said Extension agent Harry Crissy, who is overseeing the program.
