ASAP (Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project) has released a survey to learn more about how people in Western North Carolina shop for food and why they choose the food they do. The survey, part of a three-year project by ASAP’s Local Food Research Center, is for any resident of Western North Carolina over the age of 18, no matter where or how they shop for food. It can be completed online at surveymonkey.com/r/WNCFoodASAP or over the phone by calling ASAP at 828-236-1282. It should take approximately 8 to 12 minutes to complete and will be open through Oct. 31, 2024. Respondents are encouraged to share the survey widely with families, friends, and co-workers.
“By completing this survey, you are helping local farmers understand and connect with consumers,” said Amy Marion, ASAP Associate Director and lead researcher. “The challenges of our food system are constantly evolving. Improving it requires active participation from all community members. With this research we can better understand consumer values and the barriers they face, and help farmers and food producers improve communications with their customers and their communities.”
The survey is part of a three-year research project, “Connections in Direct Markets: Assessing the feedback loop between consumer values and farmers’ marketing strategies,” which will examine and improve communication and alignment between farmers and consumers in Western North Carolina. The research phase will also employ consumer focus groups, farmer interviews and case studies, and more targeted surveying. The broad consumer survey provides an update to the last consumer survey conducted by the Local Food Research Center in 2014. Results from the current research project will be shared in 2025.
ASAP founded the Local Food Research Center in 2011 to study the economic, environmental, and social impacts of localizing food systems. From its inception, ASAP’s programs and services have been grounded in research and evaluation, adjusting based on a strong feedback loop and observation of current conditions in the food system.
This project is supported in part by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under award number 2022-38640-37488 through the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program under subaward number LS23-382. USDA is an equal opportunity employer and service provider.

Our Block Therapy Workshop was such a hit, we’re bringing it back as a 3-part series this fall! Whether you’re looking for deep healing or simply want to explore the benefits, join one, two, or all three sessions with Renata Osorio. Each workshop focuses on different areas of the body to help you release tension and experience lasting relief.
🗓 Workshop Dates:
• Oct 12th | 1-3 PM – Pelvis & Legs
• Oct 26th | 1-3 PM – Shoulders, Arms & Head
• Nov 9th | 1-3 PM – Breast/Pec & Lungs
What is Block Therapy? Block Therapy is a powerful combination of sustained pressure and diaphragmatic breathing that works to release fascial adhesions—tension built up over time that can cause misalignment and pain. This method helps you restore body symmetry by addressing areas where fascia pulls on the bone, blocking blood and oxygen flow.
✨ Benefits Include:
• Improved posture
• Released chronic pain
• Enhanced range of motion
• Boosted lymphatic flow
• Emotional release
Whether you’re seeking relief from tension or exploring somatic healing, Block Therapy offers a unique way to detoxify your mind, body, and soul.
Ready to release what’s holding you back? Sign up today! 🌿

Happy Body will be offering more FREE Pilates Reformer classes on Saturday, November 2nd and Sunday, November 3rd both at 11am. Let’s keep taking care of ourselves, Asheville! ❤️
Classes will be held at 1378 Hendersonville Rd. Limited spots available. To secure your spot, text us at 828-215-6773.
Happy Body is offering a donation-based Block Therapy for Trauma Class on Saturday, November 2nd from 1-3pm at 25 Reed St Suite 210. You must register to attend as space is limited. Pay what you can.
This block therapy class will be focusing on the whole body to move stuck energy from pain and trauma. This is a slow and relaxed class focusing on connecting to full conscious breath to open areas where emotions are stored in the fascia. Pain, fear, and stress cause us to hold our breath as a protective mechanism to shield ourselves. When breath becomes paralyzed from trauma pain and stress, there is no movement of that energy out of the body. In this class, we will be releasing past/current patterns of breathing, created by trauma, pain, and stress. Our breath is directly connected to our nervous system, so this practice relaxes the nervous system so the body can get out of flight and flight or freeze and into rest, digest, and heal.
