Welcome to the Inova CSA Program in partnership with 4P Foods. As part of our commitment to team wellness and community sustainability, we are proud to partner with 4P Foods to distribute weekly groceries responsibly sourced from independent farmers. Food plays an integral role in the health of ourselves and our planet. Inova is proud to support local, regional, and independent farmers and help our team gain direct access to seasonal, responsibly-raised, and local food.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
With the Inova CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), Inova team members gain direct access to local, seasonal, and responsibly grown food through 4P Foods with more flexibility than a typical CSA program.
STEP 1:
Choose how to get your groceries.
Your order is aggregated from local farmers and producers and delivered to your home or Inova location of your choice.
Small, medium, large totes.
Veggie, dairy, or proteins.
Or, just shop for what you need!
(see below for a list of pick-up locations)
STEP 2:
Every Saturday, you will receive The Weekly Harvest to signal the 4P Foods’ shop is open and stocked with weekly arrivals. It will feature seasonal foods and recipe ideas.
Update your subscription bag with items you prefer and add additional a-la-carte items including local produce, meat, dairy, and pantry items.
STEP 3:
Get your 4P Foods grocery tote weekly, bi-weekly, or once a month.
4P Foods will deliver right to your doorstep (if in the delivery area) or community pick up point.
Change frequency of delivery, pause for travel, or cancel as needed!

Our commitment to health.
Inova is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our patients, employees and community. Every healthy community is predicated on access to nutritious, affordable, and responsibly sourced food.
Inova Sustainability encourages participation in a CSA for:
-
Health: Responsibly sourced, in season, and organic produce is healthier for you. Produce picked later in its lifecycle is more nutrient-dense allowing you to get more out of your meal.
-
Environment: 4P Foods cultivates a network of growers and producers who engage in growing practices that actively build the soil and promote biodiversity. They source Good Food in service of creating a better food system that is equitable and regenerative.
-
Economy: Buying food from a CSA is a great way to support farmers and the local economy. 4P Foods partners with growers and producers who engage in labor practices that enable people and communities to thrive.
