Connecting kids with locally grown produce
70% of TABLE’s purchased fresh food is bought from local farmersย
TABLE partners with local and BIPOC-owned farms to give our kids the freshest produce while also helping to provide a stable revenue stream for farmers and support a sustainable food system.
This approach reflects our commitment to people, health, and sustainability while also supporting ourย Good Food Values that guideย us in making conscious and thoughtful choices about the food we source and provide to the kids in our program.ย
Sankofa Farms

Wildflower Lane Farm
Twin Creeks Farm
In 2025, TABLE expanded its partnership with Jim Sander, owner and operator of Wildflower Lane Farm, to Twin Creeks Farm โ three acres of land owned by Orange County. With Jimโs leadership and TABLEโs support, a portion of the land is now an organic farm growing produce exclusively for TABLE families, with plans to expand production across all three acres.
Farmer Foodshare
Farmer Foodshare is a food hub that bridges the gap between farmers and customers. They source fresh food year-round from small and mid-scale North Carolina farms and producers and sell it wholesale to a host of organizations โ schools and universities, grocery stores and restaurants, and hunger relief agencies. This creates new revenue opportunities for small farms that otherwise would not grow in sufficient volume to sell directly to large institutions.
Gabor Farms
Gabor Farms, Veteran owned, began its inception as a traditional farm in 2016. In 2020 during the food crisis, they removed 2 acres of forestry and planted multiple 100โ grow tunnels, new strawberry beds, and additional specialty melon beds. During the height of COVID, they introduced mushrooms to their growing operation due to their nutrient density, versatility, and ability to scale as needed.
Elysian Fields Farm
Located in Cedar Grove, NC, Elysian Fields Farm was founded in 2001 and is now entering its 24th year in production and CSA management. They attend the Saturday Carrboro Farmersโ Market yet have always been primarily a CSA farm and deliver to our members twice weekly. Their CSA delivery is available to Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough.
