As spring comes back to warm our hearts- farmers are busy to fill our bellies. There are still a few CSAs with spots open. (Community Supported Agriculture- where you sign on for a season of weekly pickups of seasonal produce from a farm). If you have yet to find your farmer, read on. Still wondering if a CSA is for you? It probably is, but we help you carefully consider that question here.  Read on to find your farmer!

Farms in Montgomery County
​One Acre Farm
Boyds, MD
Kicking off our 8th season serving locations around Montgomery County and in Capitol Hill.  Although not certified organic, we use organic methods and give tours throughout the season to show our growing process.  Not sure CSA is right for you?  Look into our successful and unique Trial Share program now entering its 3rd season.

This sustainable farm has spots open in their meat CSA. Their meat is pasture raised. Shares must be picked up at the farm on the first saturday of each month, make a day of it and grab some wine in the tasting room while you are there.  CSA members get exclusive access to farm and wine dinner events.

MCA is proud to announce that we have been recognized for a third time as one of the best small charities in the D.C. region by Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington. A panel of 110 expert reviewers from area foundations, corporate giving programs, and peer non-profit organizations evaluated 270 applications.

​MCA is known as an effective and innovative non-profit whose efforts to preserve and promote Montgomery County’s nationally recognized 93,000 acre Ag Reserve have brought increased public and governmental support of local food production and farmland and open space preservation. Most importantly, MCA’s efforts are putting more farmers on the ground and keeping them there.
