We grow a huge variety of different vegetables, and if you don't see something you want, you can even make a request and we will do our best to try and grow it for you!

With a collective 20+ years of farming under our belt, One Acre Farm is run by a team of farmers who care deeply about the environment, the vegetable bounty and the community of people we feed. One thing is certain, this farm would not be what it is today without the hard work and dedication of every single team member, which is why we are equally dedicated to making sure each member of our team can live and support their families off of the work they do here. In addition to Farmer Mike and Farm Manager Sophia, we have a team of dedicated growers who harvest and pack the produce we bring our CSA members each week. They are an absolutely vital part of this team and One Acre Farm could not feed local families without them! During his senior year of college, Farmer Mike was looking for something constructive to do. He decided to volunteer at a local farm and loved it. After pursuing a career in film for a few years, the land kept calling to him. Farmer Mike returned to farming, working at One Straw Farm in White Hall, MD. (One Acre Farm’s name is actually an homage to his mentors at One Straw Farm!) Farmer Mike is an instrumental advocate for the farming community, focused on bringing people together to fortify the local food economy and system. Sophia started farming in 2019 and has spent several seasons on vegetable farms of different sizes and a goat dairy farm. Sophia joined One Acre Farm in September 2022 and manages the farm’s year-round CSA, including the farm’s newsletters and communications. She loves finding efficient systems to keep the farm running smoothly and is always happy to jump into whatever task needs an extra hand. Sophia is an avid cook and loves to nerd out about the vegetables and all the possible dishes she can dream up. Wanna See How We Grow Your Food?
