Throw back to 2024 when we partnered with the UVA School of Architecture to explore design ideas to improve New Roots Farm. With the beginning of the fall semester, we are excited to once again partner with the A School to explore new ways to help the farm continue to be a welcoming space for all: whether you are a member, neighbor, or simply passersby. Can't wait to see what we dream and build together!

Thanks to our allies--the braconid wasps--who help to ward off hungry caterpillars from our tomato crop! This photo shows a tomato hornworm covered with empty cocoons, from which braconid wasps have emerged. The parasitic braconid wasp is an important and beneficial insect that helps to control pests on the farm. They are also a sign of a healthy farm ecosystem - we are proud to use regenerative chemical-free practices across our network of New Roots gardens!

On April 22, the IRC in Charlottesville was privileged to be recognized once again by the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run for our commitment to helping our community become a home for all people.

The IRC was represented at this year’s Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run ceremony by Cecilia Lapp Stoltzfus, IRC Virginia’s Food & Agriculture Program Manager. Cecilia was joined by her colleague and clients who participate in the New Roots agricultural program in Charlottesville.

The Peace Run “is a global torch relay that offers everyone in the world a chance to express their longing for peace…since its founding in 1987, the Run has visited almost every country on earth – over 150 nations and territories – and touched the lives of millions of people.”
