OUR VISION

Healthy Food & Farms for the Carolinas

A sustainable regional food system that is good for all consumers, farmers, farmworkers, and ecosystems.

OUR APPROACH

Strengthen Bonds Between Farmers & Communities

We bring farmers, consumers, businesses, nonprofits, and governments together to make the Carolinas a model for a better, cleaner, healthier food system.

THE IMPACT

What We’ve Accomplished

Carolina farmers have made this region a leader in local and organic food, and CFSA’s network has fueled this transformation through trainings, targeted food system investments, one-on-one farm consulting (direct technical assistance), advocacy at all levels of government, and nurturing community leadership.
