ASHEVILLE, NC - Here at Greenlife we are truly dedicated to offering our customers as many high quality local products as possible. Along with this dedication is the passion for sustainable practices in the methods of food production and we are lucky to be surrounded by a community of farmers who share this passion. We recently had the pleasure of visiting two of the staple local farms in WNC - Hickory Nut Gap Farm in Fairview, NC and Sunburst Trout Farm in Canton, NC.


Jamie gave us a great tour of the farm last week! We got up close and personal with the pastured hogs, sheep, chickens and cattle, all the while being treated to Jamie's seemingly never-ending knowledge and understanding of biodiversity, herbivores, and their relationship to each other. It was a truly educational and inspiring experience-Thanks Jamie!

Lila gave us a royal tour of the entire facility last week. We arrived in time to see the processing of the whole trout into the boneless fillets you see in our fish case, the smoke house where the delicious jerky, smoked trout, cold smoked salmon-trout, smoked trout dip, and smoked tomato jam are made, and the raceways where the trout are grown. The folks at Sunburst are dedicated to being environmentally responsible and we feel lucky to have such a great resource right in our back yard!
