Invest in the community you love!

At Root Cause Farm, we believe strong communities are grown through connection, shared responsibility, and access to nourishing food. We invite local businesses who care deeply about the future of Fairview and Western North Carolina to partner with us in this work.

Our 2026 sponsorship opportunities offer visibility at Fairview Farm Fridays, the Take Root festival, newsletters, social media, and more. Sponsors help support fresh food production, education, volunteering, and resilience in our community.

Together, we can create lasting local impact.

Participants will learn how DIY fertilizers can support:
🌿 Soil health
🌿 Nutrition delivery
🌿 Biological inoculation
🌿 Preventative pest management
🌿 Regenerative farming systems

Whether you’re a farmer, gardener, or simply curious about natural growing methods, this class offers practical tools for building healthier, more resilient growing systems.

It takes a community to keep a farm growing. 💚

We recently updated our Root Cause Farm wish list with supplies that help us care for the land, support our programs, and serve the community: everything from landscape fabric to whiteboard markers and everyday farm essentials.

View the farm wish list here: https://loom.ly/pnzBLBc

If you happen to already have gently used versions of any of these items, we’d love to hear from you too.

Every contribution, big or small, helps strengthen what we’re building together here in Fairview. Thank you for continuing to show up for this farm and this community. 🌱

Every Tuesday from 3–4:30 pm, we host our Share Market, a space for community nourishment, connection, and fresh produce grown right here at Root Cause Farm. We're so grateful to our friends at Bounty & Soul for their continued partnership; they supplement what we have to offer, ensuring that we have a plentiful variety throughout the ebbs and flows of our growing season.

These markets provide fresh produce at no cost to people experiencing food insecurity. If you or someone you know could use fresh vegetables and farm-grown goodness, we’d love to welcome you.
