Airlie Berkshire Farm at AhealthyU Farmers’ Market Wednesdays on the Quad

We are pleased to announce that American University’s is participating in the AhealthyU Farmers’ Market which has returned to the Quad after a two-year hiatus. Each Wednesday, from now through November 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Farm will offer a variety of meats, produce, honey, alongside other vendors participating in the Farmers’ Market.  

We will have staff from the on site to offer specials, giveaways, and chances to win hotel stays. The Airlie staff also will be available to answer questions about activities and functions across the Airlie property, including student internship opportunities, stays, events, and conferences.  

Each week, you can expect to see a variety of farm-raised beef, pork, produce, and honey. Produce in the coming weeks will include broccoli, brussels sprouts, green and purple cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, turnips, watercress, and several types of lettuce. Available meats include various cuts of pork, Angus beef, and steaks. The Farm accepts cash and credit cards for payment. You can also stop by to pre-order for pick-ups later in the semester.  

We encourage our community members to stop by and enjoy our farm-fresh offerings and learn more about Airlie. For more information or questions please feel free to contact us at mscher@american.edu. Â
