The descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study. The findings revealed that Karo Regency Agriculture Service's execution of empowerment horticultural Peasants following Mount Sinabung's eruption was still not optimal due to a number of circumstances. These factors include that Mount Sinabung is still erupting, mentality of people who have yet to accept instructor's presence, and fact that quality of extension resources is still inadequate, both in terms of expertise and field demands.
