Why don’t we grow more of our own food? Amyrose Foll, Founder of the Virginia Free Farm joined the Rural Health Voice to discuss how they are assuring that Virginian’s have access to healthy food.
FLUVANNA COUNTY, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- Hunger or food insecurity are still big problems in Virginia, but one Fluvanna farm couple is helping to put a dent in that problem in a very unique way.
They grow their food to give it away for free.
It’s a typical hobby farm with fruits, vegetables, chickens and, yes, even a spotted pig.
What isn’t typical is that the food grown is given away for free—all of it.
We toured the farm with Amy Rose for this Hear Together profile. You can listen at the audio link below and learn more about Virginia Free Farm on their website.

“I am an Indigenous Land Steward, Seed Keeper, and Food Sovereignty Activist. I’ve always grown food, and I was guided by my mother, grandmother before me. Only in the last several years have I really undertaken the serious work of effecting social justice through food, and ending food apartheid in Virginia.
