We have photos of local food and sustainable agriculture—farmers, farm scenery, produce, tailgate markets, farm field trips, school gardens, and so on—available for use in relevant publications. Contact Maggie about your project and we may be able to help you find images and captions to accompany it.
Please browse our website to get a better idea of the scope of our work. But in brief, Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project works with farmers, consumers, retailers, schools, among others. We offer Appalachian Grown brand certification; publish the Local Food Guide, Local Food & Farm Map, and the Mixing Bowl guide for chefs and farmers; and promote and market local food. Our projects include Growing Minds, a Farm to School program; the Asheville City Market; and events ranging from trainings for farmers to the Farm Tour for the public. We provide an online calendar and e-newsletter as well as information on grants, business planning, and much more.
From peaches to pears to pawpaws, it’s a fabulous time to find fruit at area markets.
This past Saturday was the first market day of the season for vendor
Fresh Pearspective, who offer, you guessed it, pears! Their booth at
Asheville City Market was filled with Bosch and Seckel varieties to buy
and sample.
