Joseph Sabbag and Andrea DuVall of Terramonga Farm & Hub on Building a Local Food System

Joseph Sabbag runs Terramonga Farm in Fairview, and Andrea DuVall stewards Terramonga Hub—a service that delivers food from Terramonga and a network of local farms—straight to customers’ homes.Terramonga, which means “the earth among us,” began when Joe and Elaina Sabbag moved to Fairview in 2018 with a vision for a farm rooted in both the land and the community around it. Today, the regenerative farm produces organic vegetables and pasture-raised meats, and also operates Terramonga Local Provisions & Deli, a brick-and-mortar space featuring a deli, bakery, and a curated selection of local goods.In late 2025, they added Terramonga Hub, a farm-to-door delivery service that carries forward the legacy of Mother Earth Food, which Andrea co-founded in 2012. After more than a decade connecting local farms with customers, Andrea made the difficult decision to close Mother Earth last October. Soon after, Terramonga stepped in to continue that work under a new name and similar structure.In this episode, Joe and Andrea talk about what it takes to build and sustain a local food system in Western North Carolina; the realities behind running a farm, a store, and a delivery network; and how they’re thinking about the future of local food in this region.Terramonga Farmshop.terramonga.comTerramonga Hubterramongahub.comTerramonga Local Provisions and Delishop.terramonga.com/pages/brick-mortar
