Come to the Table: How People of Faith can Relieve Hunger & Sustain Local Farms in NC

By chris

Anyone who happened to be in the basement of Biltmore United Methodist Church in Asheville, N.C., in April of 2007 would have witnessed two miracles. The first was a huge tureen of soup made entirely from produce grown on local farms despite a still-frosty mountain spring. The second was a bit bigger. At tables around the room, over steaming bowls of soup, farmers sat down with leaders in hunger relief; farmworker advocates met with nutritionists; pastors talked with agriculture analysts; community workers and anti-poverty groups shared their perspective with community gardeners and local food processors.
