We market and distribute food from local farms. Working with two dozen farms in the Charlotte NC area, we provide an alternative to traditional distribution models, seeking to put the farms' profitability first in the equation. We do this through identifying and coordinating customers so that their purchases bring the highest profit to the farmer. We build connection between farmer and consumer through on-farm projects.
We seek to rebuild our local food system in a sustainable way...one that is not only environmentally responsible, but also socially and financially responsible.
We do this by:
* Supporting local farmers through programs which yield higher return for farmers than other direct marketing options.
* Educating consumers through on-farm work projects, our annual farm tour, and our summer day camps.
* Encouraging sustainable agricultural practices among our farmers.
