Locally Sourced Food
The Problem
The longer food travels from farm to table, the more CO2 is emitted.

How FJDMV is helping
We source from local farms in the DMV that use environmentally friendly practices.
Our Partners
Locally sourced produce from Potomac Vegetable Farms
Sylvanqua dedicates at least half of their harvests to ending food insecurity in the DMV. We are one of the recipient organizations of their Mutual Aid Shares program which provides monthly egg and meat delivery.
FreshFarm runs 30 farmers markets in the DMV and connects local growers to consumers. In summer they donate produce to us every month. Once they donated $15,000 of produce that they delivered to our DC community & rent strike groups.
