Root Cause Farm is a non-profit organization growing community solutions to hunger and working towards a just, equitable, and resilient food system where all types of hunger are nourished. We use food as a tool for connection and action, growing organic produce on one acre and distributing it at our farm, our local food pantry in Fairview, and to other partner organizations.
You are part of the solution not only because together we grow fresh food for our neighbors and ourselves, but also because together we strive to nourish relationships that meet the deepest human needs for community, justice, connection, and hope.

More than six million people have loved the heart-wrenching action and soaring triumph of this telling of the Cherokee story. Since its debut on July 1, 1950, “Unto These Hills” has told the tale of Cherokee life from 1780 to the twenty-first century. This is the original production, the Kermit Hunter version, performed again under the stars.

Nestled amidst nature’s embrace, our 2,100-seat amphitheater offers a truly immersive experience, allowing you to breathe in the crisp mountain air as you become immersed in the timeless tale of the Cherokee people’s trials and triumphs.
