GRASSROOTS APPALACHIA
About Grassroots Appalachia
Grassroots Appalachia LLC exists to help build a more sustainable Appalachia. We hold as a core value that our work be structured on the Social Enterprise model, as the best way for us to achieve our purpose. As defined by the Social Enterprise Alliance, a social enterprise is an organization “…that addresses a basic unmet need or solve(s) a social or environmental problem through a market driven approach.”
We recognize the root challenges facing the region to be economic disparity, human interior poverty, and ecological imbalances. We acknowledge that many fine people and organizations have been working in Appalachia for decades to address these very issues. We wish to partner with them in a spirit of solidarity and reciprocity.
Grassroots Appalachia believes that a market-driven approach in a free-market economy is a very effective and proven way to reduce economic disparity. This market-driven approach will thus empower Appalachians to reach markets near and far through the private sector, for it is the private sector that provides the best structure for such an approach.
To fulfill our mission, Grassroots Appalachia partners with others to provide goods and services, in order to produce revenue streams for us and our partners.
Ag products include vegetables, herbs and hemp. We also partner with farmers, educators and other agricultural experts to provided workshops for aspiring farmers or farmers established wishing to expand their market opportunities.
