About the company
Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project Inc., a North Carolina-based nonprofit organization, serves as a prime recipient for federal grants supporting regional food system development, agricultural producer resilience, and nutrition access in the Southern Appalachian region. The organization does not compete for federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards from the Department of Agriculture across multiple sub-agencies.
ASAP's capability portfolio centers on technical assistance, training, outreach, and financial incentives designed to strengthen local and regional food systems, increase direct marketing channels between producers and consumers, and expand SNAP nutrition access. The organization operates cooperative agreements and project grants under the Regional Food System Partnerships Program (CFDA 10.177), the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (CFDA 10.175), the Child Nutrition Division's farm-to-school initiatives, and USDA's Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program. Representative work includes a $805,874 Cooperative Agreement awarded March 1, 2026, under the Regional Food System Partnerships Program, running through February 28, 2029; a $795,575 Cooperative Agreement under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program with identical performance dates; a project grant supporting the WNC Farm Fresh Double SNAP Network, which implements SNAP incentive programs across 38 Western North Carolina firms to increase local produce consumption among food-insecure populations, running through September 14, 2027; and a project grant supporting the Farm Fresh Produce Prescription Program, which connects healthcare patients to farmers markets for direct redemption of fresh-produce prescriptions, through August 31, 2026.
The Department of Agriculture accounts for the entirety of ASAP's federal award footprint. The top five USDA sub-agencies by award count cover 82% of all grants: the Risk Management Agency and Agricultural Marketing Service each carry eight awards, the National Institute of Food and Nutrition carries three, and the Food and Nutrition Service holds four awards combined across two grant lines. Combined dollars obligated across all 28 awards (prime and sub) total $10.9 million. ASAP operates overwhelmingly as a prime recipient (96% of awards), with a single sub-award under the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture for climate-risk management in the Southern Appalachians. Activity has been episodic — one award in 2020, two in 2021, three in 2022, three in 2023, and two in 2026 — with only one grant reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. ASAP's two-decade track record in Western North Carolina's food economy and demonstrated success operating SNAP incentive programs across multiple regional firms position it as the lead applicant and primary implementer across its funded initiatives.
