Partners & Supporters

The key to a strong organization is developing relationships with local businesses and organizations that make a real difference in the work we do. Corporate donors, local sponsors and partners who help to provide funding, guidance, and support. We want to express our deep gratitude to the following partners and supporters who help make our programs possible.

Lansdowne Resort & Spa

Lansdowne Resort has partnered with us to establish a kitchen herb garden on their grounds and to offer Summer classes on herb gardening to their guests (along with delicious snacks and drinks designed by their chefs using our herbs). 

Additionally, they support our efforts through Coton & Rye's "Support a Cause" fundraising happy hours for local non-profits. We partner with them to hold casual seasonal fundraisers. Lansdowne Resort and Spa donates 20% of all sales from 3:00pm–10:00pm at Coton & Rye. 

Fabbioli Cellars & New Ag School

Fabbioli Cellars and The New Ag School, both founded by Doug Fabbioli, provide support for our program through gardening advice and partnerships with students in their New Ag program. They help us keep our garden growing so that we can balance farming needs with program development and instruction. They are exciting additions to our team and share a common belief in the power of hands-on learning.

Stop by Fabbioli Cellars for a wine-tasting, and check out New Ag School!

Loudounberry Farm Garden

Loudounberry has supported our growth for two seasons now, by offering plant and herb starts that give our participants the opportunity to put plants in the soil and watch them flourish and grow for harvest in Summer! They have become a wonderful partner to our program, and we encourage you to support them in return by stopping by their location on Route 15 near Lucketts for plants, flowers, fresh-baked pies, preserves and other local goods!

100 Women Strong

100WomenStrong is an organization founded in 2008 by people who have made a commitment to improve the quality of life for residents of Loudoun County, Virginia. In 2016, they donated the money for us to build our first greenhouse, and it has changed our entire organization. We can now offer programs in the early spring, grow our own seedlings, and grow flowers and produce for local businesses for donations.

Blossom & Bloom

Blossom and Bloom Thrift Shop is a non-profit, all volunteer Loudoun County thrift shop. All proceeds benefit local adults and children with disabilities  through organizations such as ECHO, The Arc of Loudoun, A Place To Be, Paxton Campus, VSA Loudoun County, and Legacy Farms!

The Awesome Foundation: NoVa Chapter

The Awesome Foundation is a global community advancing the interest of awesome in the universe, $1000 at a time.

Each fully autonomous chapter supports awesome projects through micro-grants, usually given out monthly.

These micro-grants, $1000 or the local equivalent, come out of pockets of the chapter's "trustees" and are given on a no-strings-attached basis to people and groups working on awesome projects.

The Paxton Campus

Since we started, the team at Paxton has been a longstanding friend to the farm and we have partnered together on multiple projects, including installing a garden for their STEP-Up Program. Paxton Campus is a full-service organization with multiple programs and services that together provide an integrated and innovative environment for people with disabilities from childhood through adulthood.

Programs on the campus include The Aurora School; Open Door Learning Center preschool; STEP Up Vocational Training program for adults (with Maggie’s Closet and Paxton Attraction as training facilities); and ALLY Advocacy Center (“A Life Like Yours”) Advocacy Center, all devoted to serving people with disabilities and their families, as well as helping children of all abilities thrive in our community.

A Farm Less Ordinary

Not only are Maya and Greg, owners and founders of A Farm Less Ordinary, considered a major "Friend to the Farm", they also offer several of our participants a place to work. They are a farm, a community, and a tribe and part of a movement to create employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. Located in Bluemont, Virginia, they provide CSA opportunities to the DC each year add more to their program. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the folks at AFLO.
