In case you missed it... yesterday Arcadia was featured in the Washington Post Food Section! We loved how the piece came out. Read it and let us know what you think! We had such a fantastic time with Post writer Kristen Hinman showing her around Woodlawn and giving her the grand vision for Arcadia. Giving interviews can sometime be nerve wracking, because you can never be sure what they'll say about you, but we felt Kristen captured the spirit of Arcadia and truly understands our mission.
Thanks to everyone who sent congratulations and offers to volunteer our way! Even as I watch the snow come down outside our office window, I am looking forward to March when we will need everyone's hands in the dirt to get the soil tilled and seeds planted!
In the meantime, look out for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign in January to get the wheels rolling on our Mobile Fresh Market... literally! We have BIG plans for helping local farms thrive while eliminating food deserts in DC. Ambitious? Absolutely. But with the community behind us, we know a change is gonna come.

We need more organisations such as yours. You are the little ray of hope in this capitalist world. I hope you can gather enough funds to take this idea forward. All my prayers and best wishes for you team.
