ABOUT - TURNROW

ABOUT

We believe that in order to improve the health of our communities and redefine Appalachia’s economy, we must return to the grower heritage and food traditions that helped to form this region. To do that, we are building a system that connects Appalachian homegrown food with folks from near and far. This means more income for farmers, more agricultural jobs, and a healthier food system.

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO

Our producers, drivers, sales and processing team are passionate about local foods and providing quality fresh produce to our customers. Our focus is "seed to box," working to bridge the necessary gap to fundamentally change our approach to accessing local food.
