Great Day Gardens

Great Day Gardens is a market garden and wood-fired bakery located in Forest VA, just outside of Lynchburg. We raise about 2 acres of intensive vegetables and flowers and 3 acres of grains. Our practices are beyond organic, with no synthetic sprays or fertilizers whatsoever. Our goal is to create living soil within a vibrant farm ecosystem. To achieve this, we use carbon-rich compost, homemade compost, reduced tillage, natural mulches, rain catchment, swales, and perennial hedges for animal habitat.

In our bakery, we craft a variety of artisan breads and pastries with locally milled flour. Nearly all items are made with sourdough and fermented for at least 24 hours, making it very digestible for those with gluten sensitivities. Best of all, it's baked in our custom-built wood-fired oven!

You can order our goods directly on our website and pick up at several weekly pickup locations, or find us at the Lynchburg Community Market (year round) and the Forest Farmers Market (starting May '23). We also offer a CSA from May to October.
