Lynchburg Grows — Local services in Lynchburg

When I moved to this great community of Lynchburg over seven years ago, I discovered Lynchburg Grows a seven acre farm with several greenhouses, near my home. I have been a CSA (community supported agriculture) shareholder for most of those years plus they have a farm store that is open to the public on Thursdays from 9 to 1. Not only do they grow amazing produce, but support local churches and businesses, and a FreshRX prescription program that provides cooking and nutrition classes along with fresh produce from the farm to its participants. BUY LOCAL, SUPPORT LOCAL. IT IS WHAT SUSTAINS...

Lynchburg Grows is more than a farm. When you arrive you see several greenhouses, but then you see the produce growing in them. They operate a CSA which highlights their products as well as area farmers. They drive the Veggie Van into some of Lynchburg's food deserts to provide access to healthy and fresh food. They also maintain a variety of historical roses. Most importantly they provide jobs to people with disabilities. If you haven't been to visit, you should go and see the chickens, goat and duck, the historic greenhouses, the produce, volunteer for the Veggie Van, and the smiling faces...

Lynchburg Grows is one of my favorite weekly stops! I go there every week for my vegetables—they’re always incredibly fresh, affordable, and grown with care. It feels so good to support a nonprofit that’s making a real difference in the community while also feeding people healthy, high-quality produce. The team is always friendly, and you can tell they truly care about what they’re doing. It’s such a great feeling to know I’m getting my veggies from a place that gives back. If you haven’t been yet, definitely check them out—your body and your budget...
