Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To create more healthy and sustainable lives and livelihoods for people in the Warren County, NC region through stewardship of natural and cultural assets.

  • Local food access: We operate North-Carolina's only food hub that features a fresh-cut vegetable processing facility. We work to increase healthy food access across the region by also increasing market access for small to mid-scale farmers, especially among institutional customers, such as schools. We process an array of locally grown vegetables in a HACCP-certified facility to promote healthy food access to convenient and locally grown foods. We also provide regular distributions of fresh produce, pasture-raised meats, and healthy scratch-made meals to 300+ food insecure seniors and families in our community. We lead and collaborate on food system planning efforts, working with government agencies and civic organizations to build more inclusive and sustainable regional food systems.

    Expenses $599,686 · Revenue $734,699

  • Community Engagement: Through this program, we aim to build awareness of and support for regional food systems, sustainable agriculture and the integration of local/regional food into food assistance programs. We also work to create opportunities for community cohesion through hands-on skills building, offering arts and informal programming related to our mission, and building awareness of policies and approaches that support rural livelihoods and resilience. (This program service encompasses a previous program service, What's Growing On, which is aimed primarily at engaging students in schools about healthy, local eating.)

    Expenses $33,652

  • Climate Mobilization: Our climate programs include supporting farmers in adopting climate-friendly and regenerative growing practices, reducing our own carbon emissions, and engaging leaders and organizations region-wide in addressing the climate crisis. We have launched a statewide program with partner food hubs to offer new forms of technical and financial assistance to farmers who adopt climate-smart production practices, and began work on a regional planning project to support small towns in advancing projects that improve grassroots climate resilience.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
