Feast Down East is a nonprofit organization working to grow the local food system of Southeastern North Carolina. Its programs are designed to support several key aspects of the food system including farmer support, produce distribution, and local food access. The Resourceful Farmer Support Program provides assistance to help farmers grow and sustain their businesses by connecting them with educational opportunities and support services. The Feast Down East Food Hub is a USDA-designated, GAP certified facility, which helps limited-resource farmers to market, process and distribute local farm products. The organization’s Healthy Communities Program aims to advance food security among low-income consumers by distributing affordable, local farm food, building community gardens, and providing healthy cooking classes in public housing neighborhoods. The Farm-to-School Program, a partnership with FoodCorps, connects kids to healthy food by building school gardens, teaching good nutrition, and bringing more fresh fruits and vegetables into cafeterias.
