Mission & Core Values
Our Mission
WNC From the Ground Up strengthens Western North Carolina’s local food system by keeping farmers farming and ensuring local food for all. We connect producers, families, and communities through programs that support farm viability, food access, and farmland preservation. We advance these goals through educational programs, farmer support initiatives, and community partnerships — including local food distribution channels that connect farms and families — to strengthen regional food security.
Our Vision
A thriving Western North Carolina where farmers can make a living from the land, families can access fresh local food, and communities are connected through a resilient, farmer-focused food system.
