Meet a Love & Carrots farmer

Love & Carrots is a local edible landscaping and vegetable gardening company founded in 2011 with one woman, one pickup truck, and a mission to feed people and places.

Today, our team in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia regions has planted thousands of raised beds and perennial beds for families, communities, and businesses that join us in the effort to make urban environments more conducive to life.

“Urban gardeners bring to our clients the wisdom of multiple seasons, a ton of knowledge about local crop production, and a dash of ancestral agricultural folklore to help them maximize their food production at home. Food brings people together – as an urban gardener, I’m right in the middle of the magic as I see clients realize their dreams of producing beautiful food for themselves, their families, and their communities.”

Q: What is your favorite crop to grow?

“Everyone looks forward to tomato season, and I’m no exception. I look forward all year to the time when I can go outside and pick a sweet, sun-warmed fruit to eat fresh off the vine or to spice up a recipe.”

Q: Do you have a hot gardening tip?

“When the garden is in full bloom in summer, there is so much goodness that it is sometimes easy to lose track of what is on offer. I like to encourage my clients to keep a chalkboard near the kitchen updated with a list of what is ‘on the menu’ in the garden – that way they are always inspired and informed at mealtime!”
