WE BELIEVE IN AN EQUITABLE FOOD SYSTEM.
We focus on many levels of food security because we see food system development as an opportunity that crosses many sectors. Our approach to food security in the region:
Gardening resource distribution and technical assistance
Agricultural curriculum and hands-on training
High tunnel infrastructure and protected growing systems
Economic development and beginning farmer assistance
We partner with communities in 6 states throughout central Appalachia to combat food insecurity and malnutrition. Our partners have worked directly with more than 5,300 families to produce more than 3 million pounds of healthy, organic produce.
“Success unshared is failure.”
GARDEN GRANTS
We invest in communities in central Appalachia by making gardening grants to non-profits.
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
We sell high tunnels and Organic fertilizer to generate programmatic income for gardening infrastructure.
COMMUNITY KITCHENS
Partnering with the USDA, we are installing 5 commercial kitchens in KY’s Promise Zone region.
FARMER DEVELOPMENT
We partner with the NRCS to provide technical assistance to producers.
