Community Supported Agriculture

Posted by Matt Pritchard on February 3, 2009 · 2 Comments 

Fairlington Presbyterian partners with a local farmer so that we can make great locally grown produce available to people in our community. Each Thursday a local farmer delivers shares of produce that can be picked up in the lobby at 3846 King St, Alexandria, VA.

Community Supported Agriculture establishes a meaningful bond of community between the food on our table and the farmer who grows it. Local shareholders support the farm directly by contributing a small sum and then they get a portion of farm-fresh harvest every week!

The cost for the Summer will be $440 for 18 weeks of vegetables. Learn more of what’s included on the Graceland Farm website.

To sign-up, e-mail John and make sure you let him know you want the Fairlington Pres drop-off.

   Looks like it starts in May? What is our relationship with Graceland Farm?

   Our main relationship is just that we are a drop-off point. A few of us have had a share before and it’s been a really good experience.
