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.

5 Ways You Can Support Sustainable Agriculture

1. Regularly visit a local Farmers Market.

2. Seek out your local farmers.

3. Grow some of your own food.

4. Buy "Certified Organic" when you can.

5. Cook more often.
