We never use GMO seed.
We don't use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
We steward soil life through no-till methods.
We pay a living wage to our 3-woman crew.
Our farm is an ecosystem that each plant and creature contributes to in order to grow you the healthiest, high quality food, flowers + Goods!
About Encompass Farm:
Encompass was founded in 2019 by Farmer Vannah on a series of urban yards + abandoned lots. She grew organic veggies, flowers, and her business from scratch, and when she achieved her dream of land ownership in 2024, Encompass found it's forever home on 7 acres in Rutherford County, 40 minutes east of Asheville. Today, the three woman farm crew grows food for nearly 100 families through the Veggie Box Program, The East Asheville Tailgate Market, and for a line of Farm Grown Goods. As we steward this land and develop deeper relationships to the plants, animals and people growing roots here, community becomes a focal point. The farm hosts intimate farm to table dinners seasonally for Veggie Box Subscribers, plus exclusive events like educational workshops & U-pick flowers. Be sure to join our email list for access to these events, plus weekly seasonal recipes based on the produce in Veggie Boxes!
Meet Our Producers:
The Veggie Box is a unique collaboration between Encompass Farm and four organic farms, bringing you the best of the best in WNC seasonal produce. This collaboration began out of a shared feeling between friends of being stretched too thin trying to juggle multiple sales outlets, on top of growing a huge diversity of crops. Through a spirit of resilience we've been able to support one another while offering you premium products! By including produce from all of our farms, customers benefit from a huge range in seasonal produce, allowing us to tailor the Veggie Box to your customization needs. Your purchase supports not just one local organic farm, but all of us!

Veggie Box FAQ
What's in each box?
Every week receive a diversity of 5-7 seasonal organic veggies + recipes based on your produce. Opt out of specific items you don't like + add on fresh flowers, farm grown seasonings + more Goods. You'll receive easy, healthy meals on autopilot! For a look at past Veggie Boxes, browse our directory of recipe emails to see what was harvesting.
How do I know what's in the box?
Due to the hyper seasonal nature of the Veggie Box, and logistics of nature constantly changing, we do not publish anticipated harvests in advance. We understand that can be challenging for folks who want to meal plan in advance, but part of the beauty of the program is the surprise of seasonal produce and trying new things! I send out the list of produce you receive plus recipes to my email list every Thursday, so you will always have access to that resource.
How do I opt-out of veggies I don't like?
Navigate using the header at the top of this page to 'Veggie Box + Bouquet Subscriptions'. Use the OPT-OUT function to select from a list of produce items that you do not want to receive - they will be substituted for all future orders with an item of equal value. We ask that you try our veggies at least once before opting out as farm fresh and seasonal really does make a difference! We're always happy to hear from customers who thought they hated beets or radishes only to try ours and love them. For those with intensive dietary restrictions, contact us to see if we can accommodate.
How long is the season?
We harvest + deliver nearly every week of the year! Occasionally deliveries fall on holidays when our locations are closed, in which case they will either be rescheduled or paused for that week. The farm closes and deliveries go on hiatus two times per year: August 1st-25th + January 1st - March 1st.
How do I skip pickup?
Pause your billing to skip pickup on your schedule. Simply log into your account here and manage your subscription. Use the instructions posted on the page 'How to Pause ' for detailed instructions.
Because we harvest-to-order, pauses must go into effect 4 days before your Thursday/Friday pickup in order to avoid food waste. We cannot accommodate last minute pauses due to our harvest + delivery schedule. If you cannot make it to pickup due to an emergency, you can always send a friend to grab your veggies!
How do the Subscriber Discounts work?
Veggie Box Subscribers receive discounted pricing on our entire product line - flowers, Farm Grown Goods and at the farmer's market! When adding flowers and Goods onto your order here, which you can do anytime, your discounts are automatically applied and reflected in the reduced pricing. When shopping for nationwide shipping to send gifts on our e-commerce website, use the discount code 'ENCOMPASSMEMBER' at checkout.
