Nationwide — Full Circle Bloom, a pioneering aeroponic farm in Kenbridge, Virginia, is breaking barriers and transforming the agricultural landscape. Founded by Ashley Richardson, the innovative farm demonstrates the power of innovation, sustainability, and community engagement in the world of farming.
Full Circle Bloom specializes in growing a diverse range of high-quality, pesticide-free produce year-round using aeroponic technology. This cutting-edge method involves suspending plant roots in the air and misting them with a nutrient-rich solution, resulting in faster growth cycles, higher yields, and minimal environmental impact compared to traditional farming.
“At Full Circle Bloom, we are passionate about growing fresh, healthy food and making it accessible to everyone in the community,” says Ashley Richardson. “We believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, regardless of their background or circumstances.”
Full Circle Bloom’s impact extends far beyond the farm. The company actively partners with schools, restaurants, and businesses, providing fresh, locally sourced ingredients, farm tours, and educational opportunities. Full Circle Bloom has donated over 25,000 pounds of produce to local schools, food banks, and community organizations, working tirelessly to combat food insecurity in the region.
With recent funding from the Microsoft Southern Virginia Community Fund and the Tractor Supply Farmer Veteran Coalition, Full Circle Bloom is launching an exciting new initiative called “Nourishing Communities Through Innovation.” This project aims to further increase food access, promote sustainable agriculture, and empower the community through education and outreach.
Full Circle Bloom’s dedication to innovation, community impact, and creating a more equitable food system has garnered recognition and support from various organizations. The farm was recently selected for an interview to join the Acres Program with the National Minority Supplier Development Council, a program designed to help Black-owned agricultural businesses access new markets and funding opportunities.
Ashley’s vision and leadership have established Full Circle Bloom as a model for sustainable and inclusive agriculture in Southern Virginia and Greater Richmond. Her commitment to serving her community and promoting healthy food access is transforming the region’s food landscape and inspiring others to join the movement for a more just and equitable food system.
