Week 10: Last week of the Spring Season!
We are so humbled so many of you trusted us as we ventured into the unknowns of spring in WNC.

Week 5: Kaaaaale YEAH!
It's that special time of year in the mountains: before the weeds, before the bugs, when the daffodils inspire old man winter to dress up a little for the occasion.

About the farm
At TRACTOR Food and Farms, we believe that you deserve the food that’s grown right here in these mountains. That’s why we created Farefield, a food subscription service for everyone in our community. Along with paid subscriptions, Farefield accepts referrals made through health organizations, doctors offices and relief agencies. We also accept SNAP/EBT and Double Up Food Bucks. If you live here, you can eat here with Farefield.
Farefield is your new option for bringing fresh, community-grown food to your table. Sign up is easy – select the subscription that best fits your needs, add or swap items weekly, and set the delivery or pick-up option that works for you. We handle the rest.
It’s food for you, and fair for all.
