Just Roots - Greenfield Community Farm

Just Roots is a nonprofit community organization located in Greenfield, Massachusetts. We began in 2008 as a grassroots group of concerned citizens looking to promote vegetable gardening and grow food on municipal land. Our goal is to increase knowledge about and demand for local food in Franklin County. The Greenfield Community Farm is the centerpiece of our work.  We operate a 250-member CSA participate in farmers’ markets, hold community workshops on and off farm and operate a community garden.

We at Just Roots believe that access to healthy, local vegetables is a basic human right. The Just Roots CSA Farm Share is for everyone, regardless of income. SIGN UP FOR YOUR SHARE NOW to share in the bounty of the season with us and support your community farm!
