On April 4, 2026, Asawana Farms had the great honor of welcoming 24 Environmental Studies students from the Edmund Burke School in Washington, DC for a day of volunteering, learning, and hands-on farm experience.
At Asawana Farms, every visit is an opportunity to plant more than seeds — we plant knowledge, confidence, and community resilience. Recently, we had the privilege of hosting 21 youths from Sandstone Care, a residential treatment center in Rockville, Maryland, at the Urban Farm Incubator (UFI), where our farm is located.
On a morning when most people would prefer staying wrapped in blankets, sipping warm tea, and watching winter through the window, Rasim & Malik bundled up and headed to Asawana Farms.
On December 27, 2025, we were honored to welcome Charles Rominiyi, Manager of The Well at Oxon Run, at DC Greens to Asawana Farms! One of the most powerful takeaways from our time with DC Greens was hearing how they understand healthy food as a fundamental human right — not a privilege.
In spite of the biting winter cold, Asawana Farms had the joy of welcoming Harmony, a University of Maryland student who came not only to volunteer, but to learn how we grow organic vegetables and care for the land.
On December 13, 2025, Asawana Farms proudly welcomed a group of dedicated volunteers for a hands-on workday focused on shaping our regenerative agriculture plans for the Spring 2026 growing season.
We had the pleasure of welcoming Park Ranger Brian to Asawana Farms. It’s not every day that a park ranger swaps his hat for a farmer’s cap — but when passion meets purpose, amazing things can happen on the farm!
At Asawana Farms, every harvest tells a story — a story of soil, sun, and the people who make the work meaningful. This past weekend, that story came to life through the laughter, curiosity, and dedication of four wonderful volunteers who answered our call to come learn how to harvest sweet potatoes.
Last Sunday, the autumn air was crisp and the wind carried that unmistakable chill of late October — but that didn’t stop four amazing volunteers from showing up at Asawana Farms with open hearts and eager hands, ready to learn how to grow organic vegetables. Their dedication and curiosity warmed the farm more than any sunshine could!
