There are two sides to a healthy food system.
farmers
Small and mid-scale farmers, along with disadvantaged women and farmers of color are having an increasingly difficult time making a living despite their importance in healthy communities.
EAters
There is a paradox between obesity and hunger in our country. We are experiencing an epidemic of diet and weight related illnesses, while too many in or communities simply don't have enough to eat.
Our Approach
Building a more sustainable and equitable local food system.
Donation stations
Volunteer run and completely self-funded, our Donation Stations operate at over 30 farmers markets across North Carolina and Virginia.
whoLesale market
Our wholesale market was created because Donation Station recipients wanted a more reliable supply of produce at affordable prices.
food ambassadors
Ambassadors facilitate cooking demonstrations and share simple recipe ideas to ensure people can use and enjoy the produce that is distributed.
You can help.
