Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving the Washington, DC-area. Arcadia’s mission is to cultivate vibrant local food systems that prioritize health, equity, and sustainability, from our farm forward.


Arcadia’s four key program areas are distinct yet interrelated.  Each addresses a specific need in the community, while collectively engaging consumers, farmers, schools, and institutions alike.

Arcadia Farm demonstrates environmentally and economically sustainable growing practices 

Arcadia’s Farm to School Program connects schools with healthy, local food for school meals and provides hands-on food & farm education

Arcadia’s Mobile Market increases access to fresh, affordable, sustainably-grown food in low-income, food insecure DC-area neighborhoods

Arcadia's Veteran Farmer Training program trains military vets to become farmers, as the current generation of farmers "ages out," creating a substantial gap in the food system
