Tall Grass Food Box is a platform to support and encourage the sustainability of Black farmers, by increasing their visibility and securing space for them in the local marketplace. In a time where small businesses have become even more vulnerable, it is important that we double down in our support of Black farmers. In this vein, we seek to build a capacity for self-determination within our local food systems.
Every other week we will pull together fresh produce from Black Farmers across NC and put it together in a box for you to pick up. Each box has enough to feed 1-2 people or an individual who cooks more 3 or more times a week. Check back frequently to see how our offering may change week to week.
Our goals are to...
•Facilitate a marketplace, while easing the strain on the distribution capacity of individual farmers.
•Share each farmer's individual system for direct purchase, in hopes to form a relationship between individual consumers and farmers.
•Provide vessels for fresh food for the communities that need them the most.
•Expand the narrative around black food sovereignty and self-determining food economies.
