Recap
If you need vegetables, Roundabout Farm has 'em. Megan and Rob Weary run the 65-acre farm, growing vegetables and flowers outdoors, in two hoop houses, and in a greenhouse, giving them a pretty long growing season. The Wearys are committed to being active in the community; they welcome many visitors, offer very popular CSA shares, work with the University Internship Program run by U.Va. to help teach students about farming, and sell both to many area restaurants and at the Charlottesville City Market. Mrs. Weary was recently named on the list of Up & Comers in the Charlottesville food scene by the C-Ville newspaper.

In addition to maintaining a strong relationship with the people, Roundabout Farm works in concert with the land in order to produce more sustainably. While Roundabout is not certified biodynamic, the Wearys are starting to integrate the principles of biodynamic farming to help grow their operation. They make their own potting soil to keep more control over the entire growing process and often start plants in the greenhouse just as the growing season is starting.

Roundabout Farm produces a wide variety of vegetables and flowers; check their very useful website for lots of information including an abbreviated product chart. You can find their products in local restaurants, at the Charlottesville City Market, or in your weekly CSA box if you buy a share.
