A Foundation dedicated to supporting collective self-sufficiency by building communities of practice.
We have received a grant from KidsGardening.org and Miracle-Gro
This grant will support the addition of raised beds in our community gardens.
Raised beds will increase accessibility for any participants that may have physical limitations that restrict gardening. Come garden with us!!!
Appalachian Farm-Arts Heritage Foundation was born of countless conversations about the desire to share our Appalachian culture of self-sufficiency. The Foundation supports teaching and learning endeavors to share our rich heritage of farm and folk arts that culminate in responsible resource management, resiliency, and sustainability.
The Foundation supports a growing co-op of members who are both teachers and learners as we build a community of practice.
The Foundation Farm is located on 39.2 acres in Mosheim, TN in western Greene County. While some activities such as, Nature Immersion Therapy, Digital Detox, and Day Camps take place at the Foundation Farm, most of our workshops are MOBILE! This means that no matter where you live, we can build workshop opportunities in your county. The Foundation will source local goods, locations, and instructors to bring workshops to any county in the central Appalachian region.
We believe that community engagement is key to building strong, resilient individuals, partnership, and communities. We organize and sponsor a variety of events and activities that bring people together and promote a sense of belonging. See our Calendar of Events, Community Gardens, and Workshops tabs to get involved
