Farm To Family CSA and The Farmbus have been supporting the Richmond-area community for 13 years to fill a need for fresh, locally sourced vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy and other value-added products from their regional food shed.

The goal is to create a more sustainable food system by supporting small, local farms and building resilient communities through local food aggregation and distribution models, including the Farmbus (mobile farmers market), a retail outlet and a year-round community supported agriculture (CSA) program in Richmond and Washington, D.C.

To further support their sustainability goals, owner Mark Lily has added solar to the Farmbus, equipping it with two 400-watt panels that can supply the vehicle’s electrical needs while out on the road feeding the community. There are plans to install more solar systems at the farm and market in the near future.
