Another option for the Charlotte area is a produce co-op – all info on it can be found here http://www.yourneighborhoodproduce.com. $17.50 gets a large basket of a good variety of produce.

Hi Melody,
I am sorry to read of your health challenges! My thoughts are with you. You do have good resources in Charlotte though! I recommend contacting Christy Shi at “Know Your Farm” as she has a CSA program where you can get weekly produce that is grown in your area. Also, Don Boekelheide at urban ministries can tell you where the closest/most convenient community garden is and if you are interested you can either get your own plot or connect with a gleaning program at the garden–ask Don about your options.
You can look both of these folks up at NCFoodNet.com and it will give you their organization’s addresses plus their phone numbers and emails. Also on that directory site you can look-up Charlotte and find a few other listings that might be of interest!
call me if you need more help. 919-542-9999

I live in Charlotte, My daughter has Sickle Cell Disease and I am a Diabetic. We are very much interested in changing our diet. Please let me know where in or around Charlotte I can go to get fresh food. It would be helpful if they took foodstamps. Thank you and can’t wait to here from you. PEACE!!

These are fabulous photos. This week, CASTLES kids learned that it is the brighly colored veggies that feed your blood. Well, these bright and colorful pictures sure feed my soul. Nothing could be finer than kids and fresh produce in Carolina!

I think the Farmers Markets is a great idea but the hours are not. I would love to buy from the farmers markets but I work till after 5:00 during the week. Could you extend the hours or maybe open on Saturdays too.

Thanks
