Winter Sun Farms is good for consumers – and for local farmers.

The concept behind Winter Sun Farms is simple: Consumers purchase “winter shares” from Blue Ridge Food Ventures in advance of the growing season. The money is used to help area food growers purchase seeds and get their crops in the ground. Some farmers are certified organic; some are certified naturally grown. All of them grow sustainably and responsibly – and members of Winter Sun Farms can feel good about helping these local farmers stay in business.

The Winter Sun Farms CSA works because it involves local people who care about healthy food and healthy farms. As North Carolina’s first food business incubator, Blue Ridge Food Ventures is developing Winter Sun Farms to help us fulfill our mission of creating food based businesses and a local, fair and sustainable food system. WNC farmers have the opportunity to grow for a committed market and sell produce at harvest for a fair price.
