Farming the freshest vegetables in Virginia and making our corner of Loudoun County a little more beautiful every day!
I will forever be thankful for what had been accomplished in the last four years, and grateful for every person that has helped me in the process! Here’s to the next four!

We have are tarp moves down to a science. It almost feels like we are in hyperlapse 😂
In reality, it took just under 30 minutes to clean the space and then move the tarp into place.
Next we plant!

We are hiring! As we get ready for the coming season, we are looking to add 1-2 more farmers to our team.
If you are someone who loves working in the outdoors, eating good food, and working in a fast paced/positive environment, please DM for more details. We have some exciting things planned for this coming season and look forward to expanding our team with a couple of outstanding team members!
We have thousands of seedlings growing in the greenhouse. Crazy to think it’s already that time of year again!
Over the next two months we will be transplanting all tons of plants-getting them into the ground where they will continue their life until they’re ready for harvest. These little seedlings will in a few months be making the journey to our Harvest Club members’ homes. This year our summer season Harvest Club membership starts mid May and ends in September, and we have some pretty exciting things planned for this year!

Wow! What a season it has been! I am so thankful for everyone who has been a part of it!
It’s crazy to think back to three seasons ago...
As I stood under the Ash tree next to the driveway after stopping to wipe sweat from my brow, my mind and heart could stop racing with all the possibilities that getting to care for this plot of land would bring.
You see, I have always wanted to farm. Since I was a young kid, I have jumped at every chance I have had, to manage, or create, or to somehow leave the land better than I found it.
It’s been three years of hard work, but it has been worth it. At the start of this season, when Everything was shut down, it threatened to shut down the farm as well, but my team rose to the challenge, and we ended up not only meeting the challenge, but persevering and excelling through it all!
Thanks to all the support from chefs, team members, harvest club members, and friends, we provided food to over 150 families and 10+ restaurants per week!

We love growing good soil! Here @rootandmarrowfarm we work hard to improve the soil every year.
This year we took over a few more acres and the first thing we did was to plant this cover crop of #buckwheat
This will help improve the life in the soil and feed the honey bees — all while making for many beautiful sunsets!

The quietness of the evening after a long day’s work is so satisfying.

It’s amazing what can happen if you just keep chipping away at something.
This is our third season on the farm. I started in 2018 with just a weedy field, filled with overgrown thistle, bindweed, and all kinds of other unpleasantness. But I had a spark in my eye and a hunger to make the prettiest farm in #loudouncounty.
With a lot of work and a ton of help from friends and family, we are seeing a huge difference. Thank you to all who have supported me and my dream! I could not have done it without you 😍

We at @rootandmarrowfarm are always focused on building great soil. And what better way than to add chickens!
The simple fact is. You can’t get top quality produce without having too quality living and breathing soil.
Going forward, these beauties will be fed a combination of non-gmo grain feed and scraps from the garden and fields—creating some of the highest quality eggs for our Harvest Club Members.
They will continually be moved to fresh pasture and help create new beds for our #notill #strategicdisturbance farming methods. I can’t wait to show you all the premium soil these chickens will make!

The tomatoes are coming in strong and we couldn’t be happier!
The plants are loaded down with these beauties which are looking so healthy and tasting so delicious thanks to the caring management of @racheljoyraggio

The chickens are here!!!
....and look at that view from their office:) We are so excited to add chickens to our management system. They will be making some nice compost and producing quality eggs at the same time.
They won’t be jut ordinary eggs either. We will be feeding them some amazing vegetables along with their non-gmo feed.

They are so good! I can’t wait to share them with our customers.

Yesterday @racheljoyraggio lead the way and @apschlener and I helped to plant flowers in a few beds around the farm.
This is going to look amazing y’all. We are aiming to not only have the healthiest produce in #loudouncounty but the prettiest farm as well!
You should see the planting design that Rachel decided on — it looks amazing!

First tomatoes are in the ground! We have over 500 plants in the ground, quietly growing out what will be some of the best 🍅 in the #dc region.
We also have planted tons of lettuce, scallions, and bok choy, and today we plant more salad turnips and radishes. I can’t wait for all the goodness that is coming in just a few weeks!

@apschlener transplanting a bed of cilantro. After that, he planted lettuce and fennel. It’s so great having him on the farm! Today with the whole team working we were able to get so much accomplished!
