At VCU HR we want you to live your best life – including enjoying healthy wholesome produce!
Weekly Farm Stand on the MCV campus
Did you know that every Tuesday during the growing season (weather permitting) you can purchase locally grown, organic produce in front of North Hospital? They open at 10 am to sell to patients and then sell to employees from 11 am to 2 pm. Produce comes from Tricycle
VCU MASSEY CANCER CENTER FARM STAND
Our markets are an important strategy in our efforts to bring affordable, healthy food options to the most vulnerable of our cities residents. Our unique partnership with VCU Massey Cancer Center provides produce to patients receiving treatments at Massey’s Dalton Oncology Clinic and to residents of our region’s food deserts. Our market offers Double Up incentives which are designed to overcome the two most common barriers to healthy eating: they increase the amount that families have available to spend on produce by matching SNAP benefits with additional funds and uses the new buying power to bring farm-fresh fruits and vegetables into underserved low-resource communities.
The market season is March-November.
Come see us every Tuesday at VCU Massey Cancer Center (on the corner of College & Marshall Streets) from 10am-2pm.
