About Us
F.A.R.M. Cafe, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, pay-what-you-can community cafe that operates primarily with volunteers. We prepare high-quality, delicious meals produced from local sources whenever possible and served in a restaurant where everybody eats, regardless of means. F.A.R.M.’s model provides multiple forms of exchange for a hot, freshly cooked, delicious meal on a donation basis. F.A.R.M. Cafe came into fruition in 2012, and has grown ever since.
F.A.R.M. Cafe was the first Pay-What-You-Can Cafe in North Carolina, and is part of a network of Community Cafes under One World Everybody Eats, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to increasing food security and building community through its pay-what-you-can nonprofit restaurant model.
Our Mission

To build a healthy and inclusive community where everybody eats, regardless of means.

We accomplish this mission by providing a warm and welcoming space where meals can be shared and community can happen. We offer multiple ways for guests to exchange value for their meals: diners can make a donation that feels fair to them or choose to volunteer with us. Every meal we serve is thoughtfully prepared to nourish the body with consideration for individual dietary needs, ensuring that everyone can enjoy our food with dignity.
