Support the Future of Local Food

Your donation provides vital support to Root to Table, a grassroots nonprofit working to strengthen our regional food system and celebrate the people behind it. Like any business, we rely on funding for staff, technology, and tools to grow – but unlike traditional businesses, we don’t sell a product. Instead, we deliver impact.

Our “customers” are chefs, farmers, artisans, and community members who care deeply about local sourcing, regenerative farming, sustainable practices, and preserving the cultural food traditions of the Blue Ridge and Piedmont regions.

Become a Partner

We are a community of chefs, their restaurants, farmers, and food artisans working together to grow the farm-to-table movement.

Become a Patron

Patrons are businesses, organizations, and partners who champion local food systems and support our mission through ongoing engagement.

Become a Donor

Donors are individuals who contribute to our work, either through one-time gifts or regular support, to help us sustain and expand our impact.
