ASAP (Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project)

ASAP is an Asheville based regional non-profit with a mission is to help local farms thrive, link farmers to markets and supporters, and build healthy communities through connections to local food. Every September we host our annual Farm Tour featuring over 30 diverse, local family farms across Western North Carolina. ASAP’s Farm Tour is a chance to learn how food grows, taste farm-fresh treats, hang out with farm animals, and meet the community’s food producers. Visitors can connect firsthand with Western North Carolina food and fiber producers and learn about the rich diversity of agriculture in the Southern Appalachian Mountain region. The tour is family friendly and features a wide variety of fun and educational hands-on experiences. The 2015 Farm Tour will be held on September 19-20.
