With funding from the Thompson Charitable Foundation, ASD is launching exciting new work in Buchanan and Tazewell Counties in VA. Due to growing interest in the forest botanicals sector, there are new opportunities to supply locally grown, certified forest medicinals to national buyers.
ASD is expanding forest botanical production capacity while also increasing support for premium certification which will provide a much higher return for local and regional farmers.

Tackling Hunger
We address hunger by increasing access points for locally grown, nutritious fruits and vegetables. We donate 2nd-grade produce purchased from local farmers to food banks/pantries. We empower families to grow their own food through education, providing supplies, tools and plants. We sell 2nd-grade produce at discounted prices in supermarkets located in low/moderate income communities. Learn more…

Supporting Farmers
We boost local economies by helping farmers earn income so they can stay on family farms. Our Appalachian Harvest Food Hub provides training, technical support, aggregation, and distribution support to farmers to connect them to wholesale retailers from Maryland to Georgia. We help small farmers & market gardeners manage production and sell at local farmers markets and outlets. Learn more…
