Help Us Cultivate a Thriving 2025 at Root Cause Farm
Video by MANNA Food Bank
Root Cause Farm is a non-profit organization in Fairview, North Carolina dedicated to alleviating food insecurity and contributing to a regenerative, equitable, and resilient food system and community.
Through the coordination of volunteers, service learning groups, and interns, we grow thousands of pounds of organic produce each season. Everything we grow is directly distributed — at no cost — to members of our community in need, ensuring we all have access to fresh, healthy, locally grown food.
The farm operates as a community hub for education and impact; a place for our community to find nourishment they need.

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.”
