Become a Farm Partner

The Nashville Food Project is committed to a vision of vibrant community food security, in which all members of our community have the food they want and need through a just and sustainable food system. With this vision in mind, we are committed to deepening our relationship to local farms by purchasing and supporting local food!

If you’re an area farmer, here are some of the ways you can get involved and partner with The Nashville Food Project.

Send us a fresh sheet

We encourage local farms to send weekly fresh sheets with available produce to our kitchens! These can be as simple as the product available, an amount, and pricing. TNFP prefers to receive these on Sunday or Monday, with a delivery occurring Wednesday through Friday, 8 am to 1 pm. Please email fresh sheets to Bianca, our Chef Director, at bianca@thenashvillefoodproject.org.

Sell us your seconds

TNFP is uniquely situated to turn crooked or blemished fruits and vegetables into nutritious meals for our community. If you are interested in selling seconds to TNFP at a discounted price, please contact Bianca, our Chef Director, at bianca@thenashvillefoodproject.org.

Donate your Produce

TNFP loves to accept any donations from local farms! For more information about donating your produce, please contact David Frease at davidf@thenashvillefoodproject.org or 615-460-0172. Click here for tax guidance on donating food.

Arrange a gleaning

Field gleaning is another way we partner with local farms. We work with Society of St. Andrew, who organizes teams of volunteers to get the most that a field can supply even after the primary harvest is over. To arrange an on farm gleaning please contact Kelsey Miller, tn-glean@endhunger.org or 615-878-9233 and let her know you’d like to donate the harvest to TNFP.
