About Us
We work with the owners of land in eastern Montgomery County, Maryland
+ to convert lawns and commodity-crop fields into productive vegetable gardens
+ to provide for people living nearby a reliable source of hyper-fresh vegetables
+ to promote sustainable growing practices that restore the health of soil, water, and air
+ to free the local environment of toxic pesticides and synthetic chemical fertilizers
+ to reduce long-distance transportation of food in favor of a hyper-local food system
+ to employ workers who share the aim of food-system reform
+ to talk about the importance of locally-grown vegetables for the health of the body, the community, the the climate, and the earth.

We grow 50 types of vegetables in Ashton, Maryland, on five plots ranging in size from 2000 square feet to 2 acres
