Our Farm Sites

Our farm sites serve as hubs for growing fresh, culturally-relevant produce,
fostering a connection to the land, and encouraging healthy eating habits.
Each site is an important part of our mission to nourish and strengthen families and communities.

Cultural Farm

AfriThrive Cultural Farm
19125 Jerusalem Rd, Poolesville, MD 20837

 

Our Cultural Farm is not only a place where we grow nutritious, culturally significant crops, but it is also a cultural preservation site. We focus on growing traditional African crops that resonate with our community’s heritage, providing a connection to the foods and traditions many grew up with.

The farm offers a hands-on learning environment for all ages, where participants can engage in sustainable farming practices, connect with the land, and experience the value of locally grown produce. This site allows families to share their cultural roots with younger generations, passing on the knowledge and traditions of farming, cooking, and healthy eating.
