TRACTOR is working to increase sales through an online market and new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members. TRACTOR works with small Appalachian farms to ensure their product is purchased at a fair price and distributed responsibly amongst their communities. Food subscriptions reach paid customers, SNAP/EBT users, clinical referrals, relief referrals, at-risk children and Medicaid clients. false false 495055 0 0 TRACTOR's community-grown food subscription service, Farefield, launched in March of 2022. Providing WNC families with new access to local fresh fruits and vegetables, the program reached clinical referral patients, food relief clients, SNAP/EBT customers, and paid customers with the same quality of product and customer service. The Farefield model is clear evidence that investments in local agriculture result in better community health and well-being, stronger rural economies, and a unified food culture. In 2022, 14,847 local food shares were distributed, with over $10,000 in gross sales through SNAP/EBT incentives. Through the Healthy Harvest Program, TRACTOR procures and distributes high quality, community- grown produce to food pantries across WNC. In 2022, 134 tons of fresh, local produce was distributed amongst 24 clinical and relief partners. TRACTOR offers a reliable, respectful marketplace which keeps our communities fed, our farmers paid, and everything in between. Our procurement model is built on transparency, which allows us to not only identify inequities in our food supply chain, but to address them in partnership with a regional network of skilled farmers and producers. TRACTOR's network consists of over 200 farms, and in 2022, the organization worked directly with 69 farmers and producers under 50 years old, 58 locally owned and operated farms, and 43 women farmers and producers. Through TRACTOR markets, $620k worth of new income was generated for WNC farmers and producers in 2022 alone. 495055 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NC X X Andrew V Zucchino 8285360126 54 Ferguson Hill Road Burnsville NC 28714 Andrew V Zucchino Executive Director 40.00 X 53408 0 0 Casara Logan Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sara Runkel Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Annette Brock Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Smiley Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Silver Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 George Moffitt Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Smith Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 53408 0 0 false false false 231435 415622 647057 569328 656102 -86774 -86774 560283 0 0 -86774 53408 45397 2670 5341 205959 175065 10298 20596 23437 19921 1172 2344 175 0 175 0 1935 0 1935 0 29375 28726 649 0 12074 0 12074 0 19135 9009 5424 4702 19595 18946 649 0 46090 40889 5201 0 19380 19199 91 90 5242 4456 262 524 21563 18329 1078 2156 6469 4330 1912 227 Staff Development 1273 1273 0 0 Miscellaneous 5852 5478 70 304 Program Supplies and Maintenance 71405 71249 156 0 Farm Equipment Maintenance 33702 32788 914 0 576069 495055 44730 36284 620050 269890 28393 319883 119785 80360 119864 31834 14736 4146 4146 357462 197884 181140 159578 1065708 888097 23318 1163 131054 111296 154372 112459 X 523712 335613 387624 440025 911336 775638 1065708 888097 -15786 -119912 X false false false false X 0 0 335892 474428 569076 604162 647057 2630615 91904 71932 90114 254370 569328 1077648 0 0 427796 546360 659190 858532 1216385 3708263 20000 142776 411331 439712 360938 1374757 0 20000 142776 411331 439712 360938 1374757 2333506 867 1322 5795 0 7984 867 1322 5795 0 7984 2002 4722 4032 6363 0 17119 3733366 0.62500 0.63720 0.00210 0.00270 X Pt III Ln 12 Other Income Part III, Line 12 Description: Other Income 2018: 2002. 2019: 1222. 2020: 4032. 2021: 6363. 2022: 0.
