Basket Case Farms

Basket Case Farms is a nonprofit farm dedicated to growing fresh, organic produce and giving all of it away. Every vegetable, herb, and fruit we harvest is donated directly to neighborhoods in the greater Charlotte area that lack reliable access to fresh food. Education is central to our mission. We believe that understanding where food comes from, and why food security matters, is one of the most powerful lessons we can offer, which is why we offer free educational programming and farm tours. The farm operates using fully organic practices and prioritizes sustainability in everything we do. Situated on nearly 550 acres in Waxhaw, NC our farm features:

• 8 greenhouses
• 1 hydroponics grow house
• Outdoor grow spaces
• An apiary
• Mature mixed hardwood forests

This diversity of spaces means every that educational programming and farm visits can highlight something different to meet the needs and interests of our guests. We offer educational programming on topics relating to agriculture, sustainability, and environmental science. We are not currently open to the public but are accepting inquiries for private and school group visits!
