Our VisionAll Arlingtonians have access to fresh locally grown food. We envision a future of healthy, sufficient and affordable sustainable foods for all in the Arlington community. Farmers markets, community and home gardens all will play a role in feeding our community as well as grocers, restaurants, institutions and suppliers. Maintaining regional food-producing farms is key to fresh, local foods. Governmental policies and regulations, as well as commercial, institutional and individual sustainable food practices, jointly protect and enhance our sustainable food supplies from both within Arlington County and in our region. Our Approach Advocate: Community-driven support for urban agriculture in county and school policies Build: Raise awareness through educational, outreach and social events Connect: Facilitate relationships and promote urban agriculture businesses and programs Follow @ArlingtonFOUA  The Reevesland Learning Garden: Located at historic Reevesland on the site of an iconic vegetable garden planted for decades by beloved Arlington farmer Nelson Reeves, the Learning Garden is an inspiring outdoor classroom for thousands of Arlington children and teachers where they learn about the science and practice of growing organic crops. | COVID-19 UPDATE Until further notice, all events and activities at Arlington Public Libraries, Arlington County Park facilities and Arlington Public School facilities have been cancelled.
