Welcome to the first Mid-Atlantic Urban Agriculture Summit! This event launched five years ago and was formerly known as the Virginia Ag Summit.

We invite urban farmers, gardeners, policymakers, government officials, foodies and other interested individuals to three partial days of:
Learning about one of agriculture’s fastest-growing sectors
Virtual tours of successful urban farms
Virtual networking
This year’s topics will include:
