Our Sharing Is Caring program allows the purchase of a 20 week CSA for donation. The CSAs are then distributed to Haywood Congregation. In 5 growing seasons, 200 shares have been donated.
Our highest priority is to equalize the disparity between those who have access to local organic produce and do not.
For the sixth year, we will partner with Haywood Street Congregation to distribute weekly CSA shares to families who lack access to organic produce.
With the assistance of our donors, in 2025, we provided organic nutrient dense produce to 48 families in need for the duration of the 20-week CSA program.
Year to year, we continue to be in awe of your support and are forever, thankful.
Being there, seeing the looks on these families’, persons’ faces while receiving this produce during the pick-up hours is forever sacred.
Thank you for providing this nourishing moment.
Here are a couple stories about who received the donated shares:
“A working single mom with two growing children ages 12 and 5 living in downtown Asheville. The family has been an essential part of the life of Haywood Street Congregation, specifically the clothing ministry where she helped run a closet that supported over 300 people each week.”
“A newly housed cancer patient with a love and desire to incorporate more naturopathic healing into his life. He loves to share healing recipes and strategies with many friends at Haywood Street and loves to glean from an organic garden. His box will not only be enjoyed by him but the abundance will likely be shared with his neighbors in the Shiloh neighborhood of Asheville.”
