Description: Community Gardens. The dataset contains locations and attributes of gardens, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. METADATA CONTENT IS IN PROCESS OF VALIDATION AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Description: Points in this layer represent active community gardens in the District of Columbia. These generally fall into three operating categories: DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), National Parks Service (NPS), and independent.
Description: Points in this layer represent pickup locations for Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs serving the District of Columbia. These locations were compiled through Office of Planning research in consultation with the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG). OP also tracks "home delivery" services, although these are not mappable; meal kit services are deliberately excluded.Fields include:CSA: Name of the CSA program.PickupAddress: Address of the pickup location. In some cases these are approximations, or the intersection is given (generally based on address given by CSA program operators).FarmCity: The city in which the primary farm supplying the CSA, or the CSA's base of operations, is located.FarmState: The state in which the primary farm supplying the CSA, or the CSA's base of operations, is located.Phone: Phone number of the CSA program operator.Web_Site: Web URL linking to description of the CSA program.Last updated in October 2017.
Description: This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data.

Description: Represents urban agriculture sites in the District of Columbia. These are distinguished from community gardens in that they are generally not intended for the public to use the space for their own growing activities, and in that many have a commercial focus.Compiled by the Office of Planning through correspondence with District growers, as well as accessing of their published information.Note that organizations with one or more small growing sites (<.01 acres) are not included in this layer, although Office of Planning does track such sites to calculate total acreage under cultivation in the District.Fields include:Company: Company or organization in charge of the site.GrowingAddress: Address at which growing and food production operations take place.Status: Type of organization (for-profit or non-profit).Acreage: Number of acres under cultivation at site. In most cases, numbers are as they were self-reported by growers in mid-2016.Website: Web URL which links to organization's website, if available.Last updated in October 2017.
Description: Represents urban agriculture sites in the District of Columbia. These are distinguished from community gardens in that they are generally not intended for the public to use the space for their own growing activities, and in that many have a commercial focus.Polygons were drawn by the Office of Planning based on ESRI satellite basemap imagery compared against the UrbanAgriculture points layer. Note that, because many locations are small (or indoors) and could not be located through this satellite view, and because acreage as calculated by these polygons differs, sometimes significantly, from producers' self-reported acreage (indicating the presence of other, less visible growing space, or out-of-date satellite imagery), this layer should not be considered complete and should be used for internal purposes only.Fields include:Company: Company or organization in charge of the site.GrowingAddress: Address at which growing and food production operations take place.Status: Type of organization (for-profit or non-profit).Acreage: Number of acres under cultivation at site. In most cases, numbers are as they were self-reported by growers in mid-2016.Last updated in December 2017.
