How it Works

Through 4P Foods, Inova’s CSA Program delivers in-season produce sourced from independent farmers we know and trust in Washington, DC, Virginia, Maryland, and through the Eastern Seaboard and Mid-Atlantic.

After subscribing to the 4P Foods bag of your choice - produce, protein, or dairy - 4P Foods will send you their Weekly Harvest to signal that your bag is ready for review. Customize your 4P Foods tote or trust their in-season picks. Try a new veggie or fruit or swap in food you already know and love!

They also have the staples you need: eggs, milk, cookies - all lovingly sourced from trusted farmers and makers.

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 Inova pick up point.

You’ll get a text when your delivery is nearby and remind you to return your totes for pick up and reuse.

Change frequency of delivery, pause for travel, or cancel as needed!

Buying from independent farmers builds strong businesses and expands the production of healthy foods.

That’s the advantage of building local food communities. In addition to helping local farmers, for every 10th bag sold, the Inova CSA Program donates a bag to local food bank partners, an incredible non-profit in Washington, D.C. providing fresh foods to families that need it most. The influx of top-quality, healthy food will make a real difference for people who usually have to settle for processed factory food. This program is unique because Inova will reinvest a portion of the profits into our community benefit programs.
