Our Products/What’s in Season

We source local, mostly Virginia grown foods and artisan products that are hand-raised or crafted. The furthest we travel regularly to farms and food producers is 168.27 miles to Bolar, VA for maple syrup and the closest is our urban farm, BusFarm. Our meats, dairy, poultry and eggs are hand-raised, pastured, raised without hormones or antibiotics. Some produce is USDA Certified Organic or Certified Naturally Grown, some of it is “organically minded” low spray, but uncertified,  bio-intensive and occasionally bio-dynamic. Some of our farmers use integrative pest management and other natural methods to battle pests, mold, fungus.

If you have more questions about the food we sell, our farmers or vendors, please ask us.

We are always looking for someone to ride “shotgun” on our trips to the farms, volunteer at the market or Bus Farm, and help out on our CSA drops. Call Mark if you are interested 804-397-7337.
