Food Security: How the Local Food Movement can help.

In the Greater Richmond area there are many neighborhoods in which fresh, nutritional food is not readily available. Without access to such things as fresh produce, whole areas of our community become food insecure. HandsOn Greater Richmond’s TeamWorks will explore this issue as well as its solutions in a group-oriented learning and service program.

In addition to regular discussions and learning opportunities, volunteers will take part in activities as, a guided bus tour of food insecure areas, a farm work day, education session about urban farming, and the creation of an edible landscape.  

The Spring TeamWorks program will start in March and end in early June. There are 8 meetings on Tuesday evenings and Saturday morning within this time range.  
 
 

Interest Meeting  
Date: Tuesday, February 9^th  
Time: 6:00pm to 7:30pm

Come to the TeamWorks Interest meeting to learn more about the service learning program and the topic of food security. To sign up visit

New Soap CSA @ Wild Heaven Farm

Wild Heaven Farm is pleased to announce the launch of our latest money-saving effort, a Soap CSA.

Similar to produce CSAs, you pay at the beginning of the year, which helps to empower the farmer to prepare for the upcoming season, and pick up your “share” of product each week/month. Additionally, for your lump-sum payment, you will receive a bonus of shopping credit with us, to be spent incrementally over the remainder of the year, on soaps and skin care products. Our soap CSA customers will also receive first choice of each of our limited-edition seasonal fragrances.
