As a program of the nonprofit WNC From the Ground Up, WNC Farm to Table operates on a cost recovery model with a 15% markup that covers only aggregation, storage, delivery, and platform costs. This below market pricing ensures local food remains affordable for community members while creating sustainable income for underserved, small scale, Southern Appalachian farmers.

Food access programs serving low income families receive additional subsidies through foundation partnerships, and we maintain a sliding scale approach to ensure economic barriers don't prevent access to fresh, local food. Our online platform serves as the operational backbone, enabling efficient aggregation of small farm production and quick response to community needs.
