What are you most looking forward to harvesting this season? 🍅🥕🌽🫑

Is it the first juicy tomato of summer? A basket full of beans? Fresh herbs for your kitchen? Or maybe Turnips ? 😉

Recently we harvested these turnips Crisp, mildly sweet, and incredibly versatile, they’re delicious roasted, sautéed, pickled, or enjoyed fresh. We’re excited to see these beautiful roots making their way from the field to the table this season!

Some organizations show up once. Others become part of your story. 💚

Over the years, the Peabody Rotary Club has become a woven thread in the fabric of Newhall Fields Community Farm. Their commitment to community, service, and local impact has helped our farm continue to grow in meaningful ways.

Earlier this season, our Executive Director, Jeannette McGinn, joined a Rotary morning meeting to share updates about what's happening at the farm this year, from educational programming and volunteer opportunities to the crops and community projects taking root across our fields.

We're also incredibly grateful for Rotary's recent donation, which helped us purchase compost and hay mulch.

This generous donation provided the vital ingredients for healthy soil, thriving crops, and a productive growing season—truly powering everything we do on the farm.

As the fields fill with vegetables, herbs, flowers, and pollinators, there’s no shortage of meaningful work to be done.

Whether you’re interested in planting, weeding, harvesting, watering, or simply spending more time outdoors, we’d love to have you join us.

No farming experience is required. Just bring a willingness to learn, a pair of comfortable shoes, and a little curiosity.

Our volunteer days are a great way to connect with nature, meet new people, and make a tangible impact in your community.
Whether you can join us once or throughout the season, every helping hand makes a difference.
Ready to get your hands dirty?

🌱 Good things take time... and our asparagus patch is proving it.

One of the most exciting parts of farming is watching perennial crops establish themselves year after year. Asparagus requires patience, but once it’s settled in, it can provide harvests for decades.

Our asparagus patch has been steadily growing stronger, and we’re thrilled with the progress we’re seeing this season.

While it may not be the flashiest crop on the farm, it’s one that reminds us that some of the best things are worth the wait.

🎥 Watch today’s reel for a field update from Farmer CJ and get a closer look at how the patch is doing this year.

Have you ever grown asparagus?
