Crossroads Community Food Network/Crossroads Farmers Market

Crossroads Community Food Network's mission is to improve access to fresh, local, healthy food through innovative programs and models mutually supportive of those who grow our food and those who eat it. While our models are replicated in communities throughout the country, our primary focus is on the residents of Maryland's Takoma/Langley Crossroads, a diverse, largely immigrant area at the Montgomery County and Prince George's County border.

Are you passionate about your community having access to healthy food? Wish to support start-up food entrepreneurs trying to take their businesses to the next step? Want to practice and develop professional skills as well as language skills?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, come join our volunteer team!

Gain real-life work experience in Local Food Systems, including Sustainable Food Access, Ag Economics, Nutrition Education, Small Business Development and/or Professional Research with Crossroads Community Food Network!

*Student volunteer hours & College Credit Internships Possible*

Our current programs fall into four categories: Help improve food security and nutrition of low-income families; Operate the weekly Crossroads Farmers Market from June through November; Educate community members on healthy eating choices; and, Operate a Microenterprise Training Program for area residents planning to start a food-related business.
