Conetoe's food assistance looks unlike anywhere else on this site: the Conetoe Family Life Center grows its own. What began as a community garden initiative now produces thousands of pounds of vegetables a year across its plots, feeding this small Edgecombe County town while tackling the diet-driven disease that inspired its founding.
A Garden That Feeds a Town
The Family Life Center at 205 Factory St — (252) 883-9460 — distributes fresh produce grown in its own community gardens, alongside youth programs that teach growing, beekeeping, and nutrition. State media and the North Carolina Community Foundation have profiled it as a community-wide approach to fighting food insecurity and chronic disease at once — the food here is fresher than any warehouse pantry can offer.
Its Ben Stith Community Garden Stand (on McNair Road toward Tarboro) sells produce in bundles and cases when in season — call or check the center's Facebook page for stand days and distribution schedules, which follow the harvest.
Edgecombe County Backup
For shelf-stable groceries, Tarboro's pantries sit ten minutes away, and the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina's food finder maps every distribution in Edgecombe County — including the REACH Center's monthly Rocky Mount distribution. NC 211 covers current schedules.
