2026 Open House: Sunday, June 7 | 1-4p
Come experience your food system in action!
Our fourth annual Open House returns this year as a Food System Fair—an open invitation to see how food moves through our community and where you fit in.
Spend the afternoon on the farm exploring three interconnected “neighborhoods”: Growing, Sharing, and Learning. Meet the farmers, partners, and organizations working across our local food system, enjoy seasonal tastings and cooking demos, and take part in hands-on activities for all ages.
This is a free, family-friendly event designed to welcome, connect, and offer a closer look at what it takes to build a more equitable food system—together.
Keep up with us on Instagram and Facebook to learn more about upcoming events and ways you can get involved with Shalom!
Join us!
This free family-friendly event takes place at our Northside Farm from 1-4p on Sunday, June 7th. Parking available in our lot as well as across the street at Veritas in directed spaces. Chamberlayne/Brookland Park bus stop (Route #1)
