Through market development, on-farm assistance and
training, and public education, our Sustainable
Agriculture Program seeks to assist family farmers
in making a comfortable living from their land. To
this end, ASD encourages organic farming - a method
of raising crops and animals that is both gentler on
the natural environment and more profitable for the
farmer.
Appalachian Sustainable Development organizes
workshops for farmers and gardeners, offers free
technical advice for local growers, seeks to educate
the general public about the benefits of organic
farming and helps to make locally grown, organic
foods available to area consumers.
