Farming
Nottatown’s economy is based on farming. The fields around town grow tobacco, corn, soybeans, hay, and sweet potatoes, and local families raise beef cattle. A few small dairy and beef farms are close by. Tobacco has been a cash crop here since the 1820s.

About Nottatown Roofing
Nottatown Roofing started in 1978 with one truck, mostly re-roofing tobacco barns. In 1985 Nottatown Roofing moved into the old Nott blacksmith shop on Old Granary Road. After Hurricane Fran in 1996, Nottatown Roofing repaired more than 200 roofs. Dale’s son Travis Pritchard has owned the company since 2009. In 2011 Nottatown Roofing donated the labor and a standing-seam metal roof to restore the Nott Granary.
