Decisions, Decisions: A Pint of PB & J or Peeps Beer?

Farm to School + Hickory Nut Gap
Hickory Nut Gap is excited to announce their partnership with the North Carolina Farm to School Program, a state-wide voluntary program established in 1997 to provide NC schools with local, NC-grown products. Hickory Nut Gap teamed up with the Farm to School Program amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2020 as one of the first two suppliers of local grass-fed and pasture-raised meats. This partnership was a match made in heaven, as both organizations have a passion for educating children about the origins of their food and also strive to provide the most nutritious, locally-sourced food to their communities.
