Testimonials from Our Clients…

“ASAP’s knowledge and technical expertise helped us develop a rich dataset and valuable report on agriculture and local food system trends in the 420-county Appalachian Region. ASAP’s work allowed us to achieve our goals of investing in emerging economic opportunities, diversifying local economies, and leveraging the Region’s natural and cultural assets by providing baseline statistics to local and regional planners.”
– Keith Witt, Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)

“The ASAP team is a pleasure to work with. Over the years, ASAP has been a close partner with Land of Sky Regional Council and has worked on key projects to support agriculture, local foods, and small businesses. The team is highly professional and able to successfully communicate with diverse groups about marketing, agricultural and food systems.”
– Erica Anderson, Land of Sky Regional Council

“We are extremely pleased with the effort that [ASAP] put forth on this project. I have fallen ‘in love’ with the project – I am a believer. I trust that some of the executive level staff here at TCTC will see this as an opportunity to play a very important role in our communities.”
– Teresa Young, TriCounty Technical College

“ASAP’s expertise helped us think through the branding and marketing needs of our burgeoning local food program. ASAP’s expertise helped us target our outreach population and, through the process of meticulously focusing our efforts, goals and objectives, develop multiple branding strategies to reach our population.”
– Dr. Leslie Hossfeld, Feast Down East – Southeastern North Carolina Food Systems Project

“The consultative services that we received from ASAP were exceptional and custom tailored to account for the unique food system opportunities that we have in western New York State. Almost four years later, ASAP’s recommendations are still relevant and continue to guide our local food promotion program.”
– Kimberly LaMendola, Southern Tier West Regional Planning & Development Board of New York

“The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina has been supportive of ASAP’s work to revitalize the local food system since 2005, investing $344,200 toward our common mission to build healthy, sustainable mountain communities. ASAP’s 2007 study “Growing Local: Expanding the WNC Food and Farm Economy” identified key issues and strategies to revitalize the local food system in WNC, and resulted in CFWNC focusing on Food and Farming for our primary economic development initiative. As funders, we depend on organizations like ASAP to assist us in working with our donors on effective philanthropic investments.”
– Tim Richards, Community Foundation of Western North Carolina
