An inclusive farm community

in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

At Sunrise Community Farm Center, we create a sustainable model of a community farm inclusive of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and interests. Our hope is that all who visit — exploring lands and gardens, connecting with animals, neighbors, and nature in many forms — are filled with wonder and joy, feeling part of a something bigger that is real and relevant to the world we live in today.
