NCC East 40 Community Garden

Promoting sustainable agriculture and self-reliance using classes and community gardening.

In support of NCC’s commitment to sustainability, the community garden will serve as an outdoor classroom, growing space, and resource center that:

- provides students with experiential learning, service learning, interdisciplinary curriculum projects, and research opportunities;

- empowers the community to grow their own food (through opportunities such as individual garden plots and community

education);
creates opportunities for partnerships with area schools, food banks and nonprofit organizations;

- promotes environmental and personal well-being; and

- maintains the integrity and health of the land.

Stop by the market on Wednesdays from 10-2 on the Northampton Community College Quad - in addition to the students' table, you'll find fresh produce, plant starts, fresh bread and baked treats, honey, bulk coffee, hair and skin products, hand-crafted ceramics, and much more!

The Farm at the East 40 is up and running, and Farmer Katelynn and Farmer Alex will bring plant starts to the first markets, adding fresh local produce to the mix later in the summer. They'll add to the locally-grown produce offered by Hahn Acre Bushel and Bloom LLC.

And Clean Aromas Products will offer their line of products for hair and skin, containing the goodness of herbs and oils. Check out the wide assortment of scents like hibiscus, peppermint, apple, apricot and more! NOTE: They will be at our market every other Wednesday, beginning on June 10.
