Food Resources
My husband and I are making the transition to have the majority of our food be locally grown. We attended the Organic Growers School on March 8th in Hendersonville. I wanted to share some of the websites of the presenters at the school.
Chip Hope did a presentation on heirloom tomatos and herbs. He owns a business operated out of Burnsville, NC called Appalachian Seeds. The website is extremely informative and details what is available other than heirloom tomatos and herbs. His farm grows certified naturally grown food. Please read on his site for more information.
My husband and I have joined a community supported agriculture
program for the season. They use integrated pest management techniques.

Farm you will find animals raised in their natural outdoor environment.
Pigs in the woods, cows on pasture eating grass and clover, multiple
species grazing together, drinking clean spring water and living the
good life. We now have access to over 200 acres of pasture and
therefore increasing the number of livestock we will raise this year.
It is an exciting time to be a grass farmer in Western North Carolina.
