Strengthening the local food system in the Carolinas, from production to consumption
Upcoming Events
Carolina Farm Feast – A 10th Birthday Celebration
In celebration of the organization’s 10th birthday, Carolina Farm Trust is hosting its first Carolina Farm Feast – a unique farm-to-table fundraiser featuring regional North and South Carolina produce. Friends, supporters, partners, and foodies will come together for one of the most unifying human experiences: a meal.
Attendees will enjoy a locally-sourced 4 course dinner where each dish comes with a story, live music, silent auction, tours of the new CFT Market, and stunning art by Charlotte artists. Diners will be connected to the land in which they live while celebrating the hardworking hands that feed us.

Our Urban Farms
Carolina Farm Trust manages a network of urban farms with the goal of making the Charlotte Metro area
a global leader in sustainability by feeding the region with food from local farms. We have purchased land for and are
activating two catalyst farms. Each farm is currently in a different stage of activation or development.
Our Current Farm Network
The Urban Farm at Aldersgate is a collaboration of Carolina Farm Trust and Aldersgate Retirement Community. It is a 6.7 acre farm that grows culturally relevant produce year-round. It features traditional farming beds, beehives, and a hoop garden.
How You Can Help
Every dollar helps us strengthen local food systems in the Carolinas, whether by supporting one of our urban farms, helping farmers get the infrastructure and equipment they need, or purchasing or leasing farm land. We stand shoulder to shoulder with farmers and our partner organizations, ensuring that the money we raise is quickly put to use.
