What does a farm have to do with hunger relief?
If you ask us, everything.
The Food Shuttle Farm provides locally grown, chemical-free produce for those in need. 80% or more of our harvested produce goes directly into distribution at School Pantries, Mobile Markets, Grocery Bags for Seniors, and The Spinning Plate, providing the freshest produce possible to those in need. The remaining 20% percent of the crop is sold onsite at our Farm Stand, located just 10 minutes from the heart of Raleigh.
Oftentimes, the best way to understand a food system is to see it in action. That's the Food Shuttle Farm.

Volunteers are critical to the success of our operation. As a Farm volunteer, you can be a hands-on part of planting, tending, harvesting, and distributing healthy, fresh produce to our neighbors in need.

The Farm Stand sells chemical-free produce produced on the Food Shuttle Farm. All proceeds support Food Shuttle hunger relief programs so you are not only buying fresh-picked produce, you are helping someone in need. The Farm Stand accepts cash, check, credit, and debit.
