A Visit to Howard Allen at Faithfull Farms

Last week I visited Howard Allen at Faithfull Farms in Chapel Hill, NC, an operation he started in 2015. Faithfull Farms is a year-round production farm, producing all of its food on just about an acre. My first impression of the farm was that it’s one of the most pristine, peaceful, and impressive farms I’ve ever visited. The rows were neat and brimming with healthy green vegetables. Howard even had me stick my hand in the soil, and it was as fluffy as chocolate cake.

Why Local Food?

At Freshspire, we focus on local food - making it easier for retailers, chefs, and distributors to connect with farmers around them, and vice versa. So in this piece, I wanted to share a little bit about why we do what we do. It’s important to stay connected and near where our food is produced - after all, it is a necessity for life.
