Plant the Seeds of Change. Help Us Cultivate a Thriving 2025 at Root Cause Farm.
Post Helene Updates and Resources:
Root Cause Farm suffered some road damage, but the majority of our crops survived. Big thanks to everyone who donated to help repair our road and to The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. We raised enough funds to fix it and it will be drivable before winter!
Through the end of November, our Share Markets will be held each Tuesday from 3-4:30pm in the Food Lion parking lot in Fairview (1350 Charlotte Highway) alongside Food Connection, who will be providing prepared meals to go. See Instagram and Facebook for regular updates.
If you want to volunteer, we have open volunteer sessions on Sundays from 3-5. No need to RSVP, just show up and we’ll put you to work!
Volunteer Opportunities!
Sundays 3-5pm. No need to RSVP, just come as you are and we’ll put you to work in the garden!

In the name of many different ways to give, we have a wish list of items that support our work and the growing of food. Some of these items you might already have at home!
Check out out wish list and email our Farm Manager at garden@rootcausefarm.org for coordination and drop off.
-
The size of our garden is directly proportional to the size of our volunteer base, so the more volunteers, the more food grown!
Garden volunteers choose how little or how often they help out. Some come once a season, while others come once a week.

“There is a social hierarchy of hunger that we hope to disassemble so that our social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual hunger are prioritized and fed just as much as our physical needs. We believe in the many types of hunger.”
