MEET YOUR FARMERS: ENCOMPASS FARM
Ellison at the Preserve is partnered with Encompass Farm, a Western North Carolina farm rooted in regenerative growing and care for the land.
Founded by Vannah Roddy, Encompass began as a network of small urban growing spaces and now feeds nearly 100 local families each week through thoughtfully curated veggie boxes.
Experience the difference: Seasonal produce from WNC soil
❋ More nutritious food
When it comes to our food, the most nutrient-dense options are likely those grown closest to your home. Food that travels short distances to your home retains nutrients that would otherwise degrade with time and over-handling from long food chains.
❋ More resilient food system
We’ve seen severe disruptions of food supply systems in the last decade. Build your family’s food resilience by growing a partnership with local growers who can get food to your table quickly and affordably.
❋ More ethical food sourcing
When you shop local, you can feel good about how the humans in the food chain are treated. These people are your neighbors, employed equitably and caring of our community.
❋ More trustworthy food partner
Most grocery store produce travels 1500 miles or more to get to you. It’s difficult to really know what your food goes through in that journey. With a local grower, transparency is at the heart of your food sourcing.
Join your neighbors in bringing fresh, local food to your community each week.
