Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project
 ppalachian
Sustainable Agriculture Project's Local food Campaign - celebrating
fresh locally produced food grown by our  farming
neighbors on their family farms
throughout western North Carolina and the southern Appalachians.
The Buy Appalachian Local Food Campaign promotes locally grown and raised foods so that you may..
- Eat fresher, better tasting, and healthier foods.
- Help your farming neighbors stay in business and preserve the family values of rural communities.
- Protect the natural beauty of these mountains by preserving farmland.
- Encourage sustainable agriculture to keep your farming neighbors farming and your plant and animal neighbors alive in good health.
- Strengthen the local economy by supporting local, family farmers with your hard earned food dollars and by keeping the mountains beautiful so that visitors will come and support your
businesses.
ppalachian
Sustainable Agriculture Project is now formalizing the participation
of growers, area restaurants, grocery stores, caterers, and tailgate markets
in the campaign.
Ask restaurants where they get the food they serve and grocery stores
where they get their produce. If it wasn't grown locally, let them know
you value freshness, good taste and local family farms. You are invited
to join in by visiting the Local
Food Guide and locating participating
grocery stores, eating at participating restaurants, shopping at tailgate
markets, joining a CSA, or visiting other businesses listed in the Guide.
