Welcome to The Well at Oxon Run, powered by DC Greens
Nestled in Oxon Run Park in Ward 8, The Well at Oxon Run is a one-acre community farm and wellness space powered by DC Greens that promotes healing in green spaces. The site offers on-site programming that aims to improve food access and wellness in the local community. Complete with 20,000 square feet of farming space dedicated to seasonal crop production, large community convening spaces, and an outdoor classroom, The Well at Oxon Run welcomes all community members to work in the soil, celebrate, and share experiences together.
Harvest Your Own Produce On Site
In 2023, The Well at Oxon Run harvested more than 4,000lbs of fresh produce for the local community. Once plantings are ready to harvest (usually in May or June), community members are invited to walk up and pluck their own produce any time we’re open — for free! DC Greens staff are happy to assist you. Then we’ll weigh it, bag it, and you’ll be on your way with fruits and veggies grown right in Ward 8.
