Farm Crew Member

Company description

Olivette Farm is a project that affirms the Olivette community’s commitment to re‑localizing food production in Western North Carolina. We cultivate 5‑acres of diversified vegetables for farmers markets, restaurants, and our CSA. We serve residents within the Olivette Community and the greater Asheville area.

To properly steward the land, Olivette Farm uses crop rotation, cover cropping and thoughtful tillage, and a wide variety of both traditional and modern growing practices. Everything grown on the farm preserves soil integrity and respects the natural balance of our environment.

We believe sustainable agriculture is not only a means of managing the land holistically but also an opportunity to foster a quality of life as ripe as the fruits of our labor.

We welcome visitors and volunteers. The growth and education of our community is our top priority.
