Farm to Family is a year-round CSA and local farmer’s market serving Richmond, VA and Washington, DC. We function as a bridge from farm to city, distributing locally grown food to families in urban areas while educating people about food security and sustainability.
Mark Lilly founded Farm to Family in 2009, starting with a retrofitted school bus purchased from Craigslist that he transformed into a mobile farmer’s market called “The FarmBus.” Since then, our mission has evolved to include a Farmer’s Market in Richmond and a thriving CSA program serving both Richmond and Washington, DC.
Through the FarmBus CSA, members support each seasonal harvest by subscribing to a weekly or bi-weekly share of local produce and artisanal foods. We offer:
All shares are available for pick-up or delivery in Richmond and Washington, DC.
We grow but primarily source local, primarily Virginia-grown foods and artisan products that are hand-raised or crafted with care:
If you have questions about our food, farmers, or vendors, please don’t hesitate to ask!
If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, please email us. We can accommodate common issues like gluten, dairy, peanuts, sesame, corn, vegan, and no pork/beef preferences. However, if you need to be extremely restrictive with produce (more than one or two vegetables or fruits), we may not be the right fit for you as we are unable to provide fully customized shares.
