Earth Day Clean-Up with Area 2 Farms

Get Your Hands Dirty: Join us at Old Town Alexandria Waterfront as we celebrate Earth Month by giving a little love back to the land. We’ll be picking up litter, connecting with neighbors, and honoring the spaces we share.

Team Up for the Planet: Bring a friend (or meet one here), and help us keep our community beautiful. We’ll provide gloves, bags, and good vibes.

Stick Around & Connect: After the clean-up, stick around with your farmers—ask questions, learn about our CSA, and toast to a cleaner, greener, healthier future.

Join your farmers at Ballston Exchange (4201 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22203) on Earth Day! Take a moment in the middle of your day with a seasonal tea experience hosted by Area 2 Farms, your local organic farm.

You’ll choose from fresh herbs like lavender (calm), mint (energizing), lemon balm (uplifting), and rosemary (grounding) and harvest the ones that align with how you want to feel this season and set your intention by adding a few words to our shared community board.

Join us for a conversation with Chloe Sorvino, award-winning journalist and author of Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption, Corporate Greed, and the Fight for the Future of Meat. Drawing from years of investigative reporting, Chloe will share her unique insights into the world of food production, from the challenges of industrial agriculture to the innovations shaping what we eat.

While Chloe’s work has uncovered startling truths about the meat industry, this conversation will take a broader look at our entire food system. We’ll discuss the hidden forces driving food production, the environmental and social impacts of our current systems, and the pathways she sees for creating a more equitable and sustainable future.

Whether you’re a food enthusiast, farmer, policy advocate, or simply curious about the systems behind your meals, this discussion promises to inspire and inform.

Date: Thursday, January 30th

Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Location: National Press Club, Fourth Estate Room

Chloe Sorvino leads coverage of food, drink and agriculture at Forbes. Her debut book, Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption, Corporate Greed, and the Fight for the Future of Meat, is out now.
