Abstract:
Clean food is Earth Fare's reason for being. The privately owned, Asheville-based chain began in 1975 and has rapidly grown ever since, now with 41 locations.

Abstract:
A local food processing facility contributes to the organic food trend. Part of a trend that emerged during the 1980s, products such as non-meat proteins, organic chocolate, and Buchi kombucha originated in this facility. Also known for the homemade fruit spreads produced by Walter and Wendy Harrill, who rent their space, it is a product of a nonprofit partnership. Asheville-Buncombe Technical College, the state Department of Agriculture, and an economic development group founded the facility in 2005.
