About Us

Locally Fresh

Fresh produce shouldn't have to travel 1,000's of miles and take over a week to get to your table. We proudly grow, source and serve high quality produce to tables in all of Central Virginia.

Weekly Delivery From the Farm

Locally Grown and Produced

We use fresh produce grown in our garden and our passive vented greenhouse that are herbicide and pesticide free. We work with other local farms that share the same passion for responsible and sustainable agriculture.

Handcrafted Multi-Serving Salads

Each week we handcraft a unique salad using fresh produce with a layer of filling toppings and a flavorful Farm Made from scratch dressing. We make a different prepackaged salad kit each week which is larger than a those multi-serving kits in the store. Our salad kits stay fresh up to a week (kept refrigerated) since they are delivered days from harvest.

Personally Delivered

Salads are delivered within days of harvest, preparation, and packaging in our certified commercial kitchen of the farm. We deliver our salads and other grocery items directly to your home, porch, place of work or anywhere we can to deliver fresh local food from our farm(s) directly to you.

Direct to Consumer Subscription Service

Ordering our salads are easy and we offer a flexible subscription with no strings attached! Subscribing helps us plan and forecast our crops both on our farm and with other local farmers.

Wedding FAQ

WHAT ARE YOUR PACKAGES

DO YOU PROVIDE A FACILITY COORDINATOR?

WHAT ARE YOUR PACKAGES

Since our goal is to offer a custom experience for each of our guests, we find it better to first visit the farm to discuss your vision for the weekend. From there we can quickly pull together an estimate and work together with transparency to finalize the weekend package to fit your dream and your budget. The rates start at $3,500 and since we only host one event per weekend, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both onsite.
