Food and Education for All

Local Food Initiative

Local products are used not only by F.A.R.M. Cafe during our weekday lunch service, but also by our flagship community outreach program, F.A.R.M. Full Circle, to create healthy, ready-to-eat meals on a donate-what-you-can basis. Your donation will be utilized to purchase CSA shares from local farmers, local meats, dairy, eggs, and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Collaborative Food System Partnerships

We are happy to partner with agents of the local food system including the High Country Food Hub, Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, and a multitude of local farmers and producers. We highlight local ingredients that are included in our daily meal.

Foodways Days

We partner with and invite chefs from local restaurants, catering businesses, and private chefs to come share our space and cook a meal with us to highlight their menu and skill. Chefs from the Cardinal, the Speckled Trout, the Happy Persimmon, Appalachian State University’s Black Student Association and Latin Hispanic Alliance, and more!
