Building Bridges to Healthy Food Access

Building Bridges Across the River (BBAR) Farms are a collaborative urban agriculture network made up of THEARC Farm & the Bridge Park Plots.

Grow with BBAR Farms

Each farm or garden was inspired and built by neighborhood residents. Collectively, the network aims to increase healthy food access, educational resources, and workforce development opportunities to residents of East of the Anacostia River.
