$10K Raised To Rebuild Great Falls Farm Stand Destroyed By Fire

GREAT FALLS, VA — A GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $10,000 to help the owners of Krop's Crops rebuild their farm stand on Georgetown Pike that was destroyed by fire last Tuesday night.

"We never could have imagined the support we got from so many of you," the owners posted on their company's website. "We are forever grateful for everyone's offer to help out and although we are unable to begin cleaning up and rebuilding until the investigation is complete, in the meantime, the best way we have found for everyone to help is to pass the word by posting our GoFundMe to any social platforms you may be part of."

Fire marshals were still investigating what started the fire as well as the extent of damage, a Fairfax County Fire and Rescue spokeswoman told Patch on Monday.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue units responded around 11:36 p.m. last Tuesday for the report of a structure fire at the farm stand, which was located 11110 Georgetown Pike in Great Falls, according to reports. Units found heavy fire showing from multiple buildings.

Additional fire and rescue crews were called in from Sterling and Loudoun County to help extinguish the blaze. No injuries were reported.

As of 3 p.m. on Monday, the GoFundMe campaign had received a total of $10,340 via 83 donations toward its goal of $13,000.

"Just wanted to say how grateful the Krop family is for the outpouring of support. We are getting so close to reaching our goal and every donation has made a big difference," GoFundMe organizer Kiri Pugh posted on Saturday. "Krop's Crops is open for business as well and would be thrilled to sell a pumpkin or host a campfire for you!"
