OLIVETTE FARM
About Olivette Farm
Olivette Farm is a project that affirms the Olivette community’s commitment to re-localizing food production in Western North Carolina. The farm grows year round salad greens, specialty produce for local farmers markets and restaurants, as well as CSA memberships.
To properly steward the land, Olivette Farm uses methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and conservation tillage, as well as a wide variety of both traditional and modern growing practices. Everything grown on the farm is produced with great care and recognition of the fragile nature of our ecosystem.
We welcome visitors and volunteers at Olivette Farm, as the growth and education of our community is our top priority.
