Extension Serves the Entire Community

Our Agriculture and Natural Resources agent, M.C. Halbrook, provides research-based information, educational programming, and resources to homeowners and commercial clientele. Common topics include landscape maintenance, pest control, fruit and vegetable production, caring for trees, turf-grass and agriculture production.

Upcoming Events

  • Aug 2 Experience Agriculture Locally - Glynn County Glynn County is the home of an ever expanding tourist destination. Urbanization is fantastic for our local economy, but it has pushed agriculture out as a large economic input. Today, there are still agricultural practices and farmers who work in Glynn County. Through our Experience Agriculture Locally program, you will be able to interact on-farm with some of our local producers. This August, we will learn about and visit four producers in Glynn County. We will learn about mushroom production and marketing, visit our local horse rescue to learn about equine care and rehabilitation, tour a centennial farm with a 7th generation farmer to learn about organic vegetables and Gullah Geechee heritage crops, and the process involved with rearing bees and processing honey. The cost for the program is $30 per person. We will meet on Fridays, August 2, 9, 16, and 23 from 6:00PM-8:00PM. We look forward to sharing the awesome work our local producers do to maintain their agricultural commodities in Glynn County.
