Produce to the People™ provides equitable access to nutritious, culturally relevant food through weekly community markets. Together, three times a week, we enjoy cooking demos and kids activities, share local foods from local farms, provide fresh produce and other healthy staples, and create a healthy experience of community connection. All are welcome!
The Farmers Alliance™ program is committed to developing a supportive and reciprocal relationship between Bounty & Soul and local farmers and growers while connecting the community to local produce and gardening education. We partner with over 72 local farms, community gardens, and home gardens in Buncombe and surrounding counties to provide local foods at our Produce to the People™ markets.
Rooted in Health™ We believe that access to culturally relevant and community-focused education & wellness resources is something that every individual and community should have the opportunity for. At our markets and online, we share nutrition information, cooking demonstrations, food preservation, gardening, sustainability, self-care + stress relief, and other community-wellness resources in the form of classes, resources and written materials (in English & in Spanish).
Healthy Opportunities Pilot Program The Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP) is the nation’s first comprehensive program to test evidence-based, nonmedical interventions designed to improve the health of Medicaid beneficiaries while reducing costs. Through HOP, eligible NC Medicaid managed care members can receive free services to support needs related to food, housing, transportation, interpersonal safety and toxic stress.
