Help Sustain ASAP’s Work

Walter Harrill of Imladris Farms – one of the more than 2,500 farmers that ASAP works with every year – is encouraged by the growth of ASAP and the local food movement in the area.

"I couldn’t see a local food scene in Western North Carolina without ASAP. the Local Food Guide, the support of tailgate markets, local chefs – all that ties together to make a larger movement."

Western North Carolina is the leading local food region in the country, and ASAP is the reason behind this success. For the past 10 years, ASAP has created the conditions for farmers to experiment and create new products for new markets.

But, ASAP needs your support to ensure that we can continue to help local farms thrive, link farmers to markets and supporters, and build healthy communities through connections to local food.

Here are some examples of what we can accomplish with your contribution:

• $1,000 expands markets for farmers, whether a grocery store or a local restaurant.
• $500 brings a class of school children to a local farm.
• $100 funds a cooking demo on how to prepare fresh foods.
• $50 trains a farmer in new business skills.
• $25 provides seeds and resources for school gardens.

Please use this secure link to increase the region’s access to the freshest, healthiest, best-tasting food around.
