Edgewood Community Farm

Our Mission

Edgewood Community Farm is a nonprofit urban farm in Washington, D.C. advancing food justice and addressing food insecurity in Ward 5. We grow and share fresh food, provide hands-on gardening education, and steward free, shared green space where neighbors connect across generations, cultures, and incomes, with a focus on serving low-income residents, people of color, queer community members, and immigrants.

Our Values

Community accountability

Equity and access

Belonging, not displacement

Stewardship of land and health

Shared knowledge and cultural memory

Collective care and community building

Edgewood Community Farm is a community-rooted urban farm in Washington, DC, established in August 2022. We grow vegetables, flowers, and mushrooms on an acre of communal farmland, and we donate everything we grow through our Open Harvest program — 100% of our produce goes directly to the community. In addition to our production farm, we operate a 20-bed community garden, a fruit orchard, a greenhouse, and an aquaponics program. Every week, we host a volunteer day that draws 12 to 30 people and a food distribution in partnership with reDelicious where we distribute 1,200 pounds of food to roughly 150 people. We have a lively calendar of events, 2,500 people on our mailing list, and 3,500 Instagram followers — and we're just getting started.
