Arcadia Food

Our Mission

The Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture is dedicated to creating a more equitable and sustainable local food system in the Washington, D.C. region. We achieve this through a thoughtfully constructed network of programs that add to the supply of quality, fresh food; increase the number of farmers by training military veterans for new careers in agriculture; building demand for quality food through on-farm and in-school experiential education programs; and finally, dismantling the primary barriers to access through our Mobile Markets, which offer fresh, affordable food in neighborhoods passed over by traditional retailers
