About the farm
Registration for the 2022 season is open!
Our farm has been in operation since 1962 and is owned and managed by three women farmers (with lots of help). We have two farms in Northern Virginia -- the hub is in Fairfax County and the larger production farm is in Loudoun County. We grow our vegetables ecoganically (focusing on soil health, human health and long term sustainability) and sell them at seven farmers markets, our two roadside stands, and through the CSA.
