Asheville's Feast now a Bontiful Cities Program

As of January 1, 2018, FEAST Asheville will become a program of Bountiful Cities, an Asheville non-profit organization dedicated to teaching sustainable agriculture skills in urban environments. This union is a perfect match, and will allow FEAST to considerably expand their reach and mission of empowering youth and families to grow, prepare and eat fruits and vegetables.


Bountiful Cities is an Asheville NC based organization dedicated to teaching sustainable agriculture skills in urban environments. Core Value: Justice. Bountiful Cities is committed to promoting an environment of equitable Social Justice by honoring and practicing cooperation and mutual respect, promoting jobs in urban agriculture that support a profitable living, promoting access to healthy food for people of all economic means while working to protect and improve environmental health for soil, water, air and community.
