Potomac Vegetable Farms

I first encountered Potomac Vegetable Farms as a customer at Arlington Farmers' Market 20 years ago. As many DC restateurs know, their produce stands out from the rest. As someone who likes to cook, much of my summer grocery list was bought on Saturday mornings from PVF. 13 years ago I moved to Loudoun County with my family, thinking I would have to leave the market --- and PVF -- behind.

But what do you know -- I had moved just miles from PVF West! In the years since I have subscribed to the CSA and even volunteered as extra labor on the farm and worked in the roadside stand. My relationship with the farm, its workers, and its vegetables is a close one. Ellen has really grown the farm since the early days; her blend of common sense practicality and idealism has yielded excellent results. She is constantly trying to improve the quality, the quantity and the variety of vegetables and keep CSA shareholders and marketgoers happy.

From the variety in the weekly shares to the information in the newsletter to the PVF collection of recipes -- PVF goes above and beyond.
