Feast Down East

Feast Down East is a non-profit organization, grant-funded through UNC Wilmington. Its goal is to build a strong vibrant local food system. Feast Down East helps small scale limited-resource farmers build and sustain their farms and connect them with local markets, such as schools, universities, restaurants, institutions and direct-to-consumers. Feast Down East aims to educate consumers and students on the importance of supporting local agriculture and increasing the consumption of fresh local foods.

Edible classroom plants indoors

River Woods Elementary teachers have a different kind of class pet: an edible class plant. Using grow light systems, they have grown tomatoes, basil, lettuce, mint, and peas. Kids are allowed to pick a snack directly from the vine and enjoy the daily surprises and/or bounty that the plants offer.
