Who is rebuilding Asher Acres

Bringing this back is a family effort. Each of us brings different skills and professional experience, along with more than thirty-six years of knowing this land and this community.

The spice business

Asher Acres began as a family farm and an artisanal spice business, which the flood destroyed along with everything else. That business is a separate commercial venture from this charitable rebuilding project — but it is part of the story, and it will operate from the new building's lower level. You can find it at asheracres.com.

Purchases from the spice business are not charitable donations and are not tax-deductible.
