The Fauquier Education Farm has a dual focus: offering agricultural education to county residents and growing produce for local food banks. Programs are conducted to serve existing farmers, beginning farmers, students, and residents.

Fresh produce grown on the Farm is distributed to local food banks for further distribution to those in need. In 2020, despite the pandemic, record production of over 70,000 pounds of produce was grown and distributed.

Master Gardeners partner with the Fauquier Education Farm to promote agricultural education and serve our community. The work of the Farm is led by the Fauquier Education Farm Executive Director, Jim Hankin.
