FarmsSHARE is a program of Carolina Farm Stewardship Association that helps small farms provide fresh, locally grown food to families who need it most. These farms work hard to grow healthy food for us. FarmsSHARE buys food from these small farms and gives it to families all across North Carolina through food hubs and local community organizations. This way, farmers can keep growing food, and more people can eat healthy, local food. FarmsSHARE also helps farmers by giving them tools and advice to make their farms better and more successful. With FarmsSHARE, everyone wins!
