Welcome to Waterpenny Farm
We are glad you are here. Please browse our site to find out more about us, our growing methods, and what is happening on the farm.
For a weekly box of vegetables from the farm, consider buying a share
in Waterpenny Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Each year we offer 19 weeks of vegetables from early June through early October. We
have Wednesday delivery sites in Arlington and in Lorton, and Thursday pickup at the farm in Rappahannock
county. If you are interested in our CSA program, please click here for more information. Our CSA is full for the 2013 season. E-mail us to be put on the wait list and to be contacted when we start signups in February 2014.
If you would like to find out more about working on the farm, please visit our internship page.
Check out our harvest schedule to see what we grow and when it is available.
We've gone Solar!
In Spring 2012, we had a bank of 24 solar panels installed on our pole barn. 12 of these panels produce enough electricity for all or our farm use, so now our coolers, greenhouse and barn lighting are all solar powered! This portion was partially funded through a USDA grant. The other half are a personal investment, and produce roughly 1/3 of our home use electricity. We're excited about this new step in sustainability. In just a year, we've saved over 12 tons of Carbon Dioxide from going into our environment, and saved money on our power bills as well. The investment should pay for itself in 10 years.
