It's time to recognize our 2026 N.C. State Fair Farm Families of the Day, sponsored by Tractor Supply Company!

These eleven farm families were nominated either by family or community members for their hard work and dedication to our state’s No. 1 industry, as well as their overall love for the N.C. State Fair. The lucky winners were chosen at random. Each farm family is assigned a specific day of the 2026 N.C. State Fair, taking place Oct. 15-25, where they will be honored through public address announcements and on-grounds signage, as well as features on both the N.C. State Fair and the NCDA&CS blogs and social media platforms. Follow along on those outlets to learn about each farm and what made them stand-out candidates for this year’s Farm Family of the Day program. Each family also received an N.C. State Fair prize pack, including fair tickets to use on any day of their choosing. Congratulations to all the winners and we look forward to seeing you at the 2026 N.C. State Fair!
