Farming at Fort Totten

D.C. residents longing for green acres need look no farther than Fort Totten.

Neighborhood Farm Initiative, an organic educational urban vegetable farm near the Fort Totten Metro station, will host a Field Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. The event will feature compost Q&A and a volunteer workday, followed by a harvest potluck and a garden scavenger hunt.

The farm also offers summer-long classes for first-time gardeners and the Green Summer Youth Program, which trains teens in green job skills and urban agriculture.
