The Farm
Our family-owned and operated farm in Western North Carolina has been a pillar of local food production and education for generations. As a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist (RDN) and fourth-generation farmer, our mission is to reconnect youth with the food system, promote ecological sustainability, and support food security.
The Project Funded
Hurricane Helene damaged our farm, causing $81,950 in damages and crop losses. These funds will support critical repairs, including rebuilding access roads and restoring our agricultural water source, to revive operations and our educational programs.
The Project Impact
Your support of our farm's recovery is a testament to the power of community spirit. In the face of adversity, we come together with remarkable resilience, donating millions of volunteer hours to support one another. Your generosity helps restore our agricultural operations and reinforce the bonds that unite us.
