Farmer Foodshare is a nonprofit organization based in Durham, NC, dedicated to reshaping the local food system by breaking down barriers to growing and accessing fresh, local food. They work closely with small and mid-scale farmers, particularly those who have been historically marginalized, to help them make a sustainable living and contribute to healthy communities. By bridging the gap between farmers and eaters, Farmer Foodshare strives to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food, addressing the epidemic of diet- and weight-related illnesses in North Carolina. With a focus on supporting North Carolina growers, Farmer Foodshare offers opportunities for farmers to connect with the community through farm-to-table distribution, food system education, and partnerships. They also provide fresh food to those in need, donating thousands of pounds of produce to local people and combating food insecurity. Through their volunteer programs, events, and donations, Farmer Foodshare enables individuals and organizations to actively participate in building a healthier and more sustainable food system for all.Generated from the website
