Village Garden RVA, a small family farm in Hanover County, Virginia, is a chef and chile-lover's choice for delicious, fresh, chemical-free tomatoes, chile, herbs, spices, seasonings and specialty items for the well stocked pantry. We have our origins in family farming, starting in childhood with the important job of helping put food on the table, and now on 10 sustainably managed acres near Richmond Virginia, helping to put food on yours. In 2022 we are growing 100 types of chile (most of them very hot!) and about 300 types of tomato, mostly heirlooms! You may enjoy our fresh and juicy heirlooms at one of central Virginia's finer family restaurants, or sample an area brew that has been prepared with our lemongrass or chile.

This 2022 summer season we are again co-sponsoring Summer-Supper-Somm with Barboursville Vineyards, with support from Duke's Mayonnaise!  This year has TWENTY ONE Harvest Celebration dinners, centered around the heirloom tomato and Virginia wine, featuring dinner presentations by over 25 Virginia top chefs, alongside the winemakers and the tomato growers. They start in Richmond on June 28 and end in Tidewater on August 18, with stops in Charlottesville, DC, Staunton and Great Falls. More information and a link to book is available at https://www.virginiawine.org/events/summer-supper-somm Each participating restaurant is handling their own reservations (last year sold out quickly) and will feature classic and innovative dishes paired with Barboursville's award winning wines. 

A few things that are important for you to know: we use only certified organic sources or our own chemical-free, home grown produce for all our herb and spice blends, because we want you and your family to have the healthiest and freshest food possible. And we are passionate about what we do---crop diversity, seed saving, advocating for local food systems and rare, exotic offerings are important to us, along with your utmost satisfaction with our products.
