In late summer, the trails along the James River are chock full of a native fruit unknown to many Richmonders: the pawpaw. For those in the know, a certain scent is often the first sign of pawpaw season.

In the heart of Virginia, a revolutionary project is taking root that aims to redefine the relationship between communities and the food they consume. Virginia Free Farm (VFF) – an initiative grounded in the principles of sustainability, equity, and education – is not just a farm; it’s a movement. Spearheaded by a group of dedicated individuals, the farm is on a mission to address food insecurity by providing free, healthy, and locally-grown produce to those in need. In doing this, they are also able to foster a deeper connection to the land and traditional agricultural practices. VFF is a non-profit homestead farm located at 178 Broad Street Road in Kents Store, VA. The organization originally started as a retail and wholesale farm and transitioned into a non-profit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
