Copeland Springs – Promoting Health and Protecting the Environment – One Bowl at a Time
Alice talking to Kristin at Copeland Springs about some future Good Bowls partnerships.
Kristin is the founder/owner/operator of Copeland Springs Farm and Kitchen. Alice and Kristin got to know each other as collaborators on a USDA-funded research project - Farm Fresh Food for Healthy Kids, an innovative community supported agriculture intervention to prevent childhood obesity in low-income families and strengthen local agricultural economies.
Copeland Springs Farm is committed to growing nutritious food with an emphasis on care for the environment and respect for the land. Kristin and her team use environmentally sustainable practices in everything they do. They use cover crops wherever a food crop isn’t growing, use no-til when possible, practice crop rotation and plant with beneficial insects in mind. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or GMOs are used, ever.

Kristin uses produce from the farm (and occasionally from other local sustainable farms she knows & Trusts!) to create delicious food that nourishes and satisfies! The kitchen is located right on the farm, In the heart of the Chatham beverage district at The Plant in Pittsboro.
Even the local wildlife is ready for the pandemic to end and the crowds to return to home brew boulevard .
Kristin shares our Equiti Foods mission of making sure that healthy food is available to every member of the community. She is partnering with us to co-brand several frozen bowls recipes. We are helping with packaging, production, and storage and she is contributing part of her sales revenue to the Equiti Foods Nutrition Outreach efforts. Kristin is using our compostable bowl and heat sealer to minimize packaging waste Soon we hope to collaborate around on-line purchasing and delivery.
