The Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP) is a transformative program designed to address the social determinants of health, including food insecurity, connecting eligible individuals with nutritious, locally-sourced food. Through this initiative, WNC From the Ground Up partners with Impact Health to provide customized food boxes that support the well-being of our community members, ensuring access to fresh, local produce while supporting our local farmers. Learn more about how we're bridging the gap between health and food security in Western North Carolina.
Through a partnership with MANNA Food Bank with funding from the Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA+) program, WNC From the Ground Up is expanding access to fresh, locally-sourced food in the six westernmost counties of North Carolina. Food pantries in these communities can now order directly from us, bringing nutritious, local produce to those in need while supporting our region's farmers. We're proud to play a role in strengthening local food systems and ensuring food security for all.
Our CSA subscription program is a pre-planned box that customers order for pick-up once a week. WNC Farm to Table staff order the content of the boxes from your online availability, you bring products to our office downtown, and customers pick-up here.
