Our Story

A collective of tinkerers, big-idea thinkers, artisans, healers, musicians, foraged-food wizards, and farmers.

4.3 Acres of Possibility

Celeste Farms is a 4.3-acre regenerative farm located five minutes east of Richmond in Varina, Virginia. We grow diversified organic fruits, herbs, and vegetables while raising chickens, bees, and worms — all working together in an ecosystem that leaves the land better than we found it.

But we're more than a farm. We're a living, ever-evolving project — a hub where artisans, healers, chefs, and farmers can practice their crafts, deepen their knowledge, and earn a living wage. From yoga and sound baths to pottery workshops and fire-side support groups, this land is a gathering place for the community.

The Celeste Dinner Experience

Our seasonal flagship: a series of educational farm tours, mindful nature walks, and meals highlighting the produce we grow on the property. Each experience features thoughtful menus curated by our resident chef and rooted in the rhythms of the land.

It's our favorite way to share the farm with RVA and the surrounding communities — and to show you what setting the table for wellness really looks like.

What We Believe

We believe in growing food that nourishes, building spaces that heal, sharing knowledge that empowers, and leaving an environmental footprint lighter than the one we inherited. Every dinner served, every workshop taught, and every sauna fired is a step toward that vision.

The Ecosystem

Everything on the farm is connected — from the soil to the table.

Chickens

Free-range chickens producing fresh eggs and contributing to our composting cycle.

Bees & Worms

Pollinators and composters working together to keep the farm's ecosystem thriving.

Wildflower Meadows

Expanding meadows designed to support native pollinators and local fauna.

Composting

We make our own compost, closing the loop on organic waste and enriching our soil.
