We are a highly diverse certified organic farm, growing over 120 varieties of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers for bouquets. We offer a High Summer CSA (350 families in 2011; application deadline late June) and a unique Winter CSA (200 families in '10-'11; reserved primarily for previous summer or winter subscribers). We also sell to fine restaurants, universities, and stores, and at the Saturday Chevy Chase farmers' market in Washington DC. We specialize in heirloom vegetables of the finest flavors, and grow our foods slowly to maximize quality and to protect the farm ecosystem that we so treasure.

Highly diverse certified organic vegetables, herbs, and fruits. Deliveries to pick-up sites in Bethesda, MD 20814; south Arlington, VA 22204; central Arlington, VA 22201; University Park, MD 20782; Chevy Chase, DC 20016; Chevy Chase, MD 20015; Lexington Park, MD 20653 and Leonardtown, MD 20650. Twenty-four hour pick-up window for subscribers. We specialize in growing great tomatoes (both cherries and heirlooms) in the summer and salad and cooking greens in the winter. While we grow and harvest many other crops for the CSA members, those two foods are major parts of the traditional delivered warm and cold season shares, respectively. From May 6 thru October 26, Farmers' Market Option subscribers may totally customize their foods by shopping at the farm Fridays (12:00 - 4:00 pm; members only) or our Saturday Chevy Chase (WDC) farmers' market (9 - 1 pm; public fully welcome). This option is a special shopping-basket debit system, and lets market-attending CSA members choose their CSA weeks and which foods they get. If someone don't love tomatoes or greens, there are plenty of other choices. The Farmers' Market option is also the best way for CSA members to get our lovely bouquets.
