WHO WE ARE
Farmer Foodshare is a Triangle-based, nonprofit food hub whose mission is to increase access to fresh, local food for all and to support the viability of marginalized NC farmers to create an equitable food system.
WHAT WE DO
We support local farmers. We purchase fresh, nutritious, high-quality produce from North Carolina farmers, prioritizing small and historically marginalized growers. We step in
sell and donate fresh produce to partner organizations that distribute food directly to Triangle-area communities experiencing food insecurity. Each month, our program staff and volunteers pack thousands of food boxes which we deliver to our community partners. All our produce is sourced from growers across North Carolina, which gives local farmers access to new revenue opportunities. We supply local restaurants, grocers, and dining programs with locally grown fruits and vegetables year-round, and all income from our wholesale program is reinvested into our food access initiatives.
THE NEED
Farmer needs. hunger needs. traditional food access work.
