Sampson County Cooperative Extension just isn’t a resource for farmers, ranchers, and agriculture. It is a vital resource for residents, offering a wide range of programs and services designed to improve the lives of individuals and families. As part of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension system, the agency provides research-based information and educational opportunities in various areas, including:

  • Consumer Horticulture: Extension horticulturists provide guidance on all aspects of gardening, from vegetable and flower cultivation, landscaping, lawn care, fruit tree care and pest management. We offer workshops, demonstrations, and individual consultations to help homeowners create beautiful and productive home landscapes and gardens.
  • Family and Consumer Sciences: This area focuses on enhancing the well-being of families through programs on nutrition, food safety, financial management, child development, and healthy relationships. Extension agents provide resources and education to help families make informed decisions and build stronger bonds.
  • 4-H Youth Development: 4-H is a youth development program that empowers young people with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in life. Through hands-on projects, leadership activities, and community service, 4-H helps youth develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Community Development: Extension plays a crucial role in community development by addressing local needs and concerns. This may involve working with community leaders to improve local food systems, promote economic development, and enhance environmental sustainability.
