The first crops are being planted this week in our new market garden area. These will include all of our cold hardy plants like kale, collards, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts 🥦

We’re excited to grow even more food for our community partners this year with this additional field space!

We are so proud to share our yearly impact report with you. Take a look at the excellent results achieved in 2025 towards alleviating food insecurity in Worcester County:

🥦We grew over 9,440lbs of fruits and vegetables all donated to local food pantries

🥖 We purchased over 1,800lbs of local food from local farms through the to supplement our donations

👩‍🍳 Donated 780 prepared healthy meals made with produce from our farm and crafted by local chefs

🥧 Produced 873 holiday pies using our own squash and berries.

All while committing steadfastly to growing nutrient dense food in a no-till agroecological system.

All this would not be possible without the tireless work of Katie and Pieter on the farm, as well as intern Quinn and the many volunteers that helped! Shout out also to all the people working at the fantastic food pantries we serve and the community

Looking forward to another great growing season and to helping our community!

Healthy food = healthy and strong communities!

It’s mulching season! 🍂

Mulching our beds in the fall will reduce soil erosion, retain moisture, improve soil health, and help us with w**d prevention in the spring.

We decided to mulch the garlic with salt marsh hay instead of straw which is a new experiment for us.
