About

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. We operate a 500-member year-round CSA, are a vendor at the Greenfield Farmer’s Market, hold community workshops on and off farm and operate a community garden.

Perhaps best known as the organization that developed and operates one of the largest SNAP-enrolled, low-income Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share programs in Massachusetts, Just Roots is a leader in the effort to include and engage all people in the local food economy. In recent years, Just Roots has expanded our impact through our Food is Medicine work. Partnering with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and other healthcare organizations, we connect food insecure patients throughout Massachusetts with food from our farm and other local farms. Just Roots empowers vibrant, inclusive and sustainable farm and food economies in Massachusetts.

Our CSA distribution and farm stand hours at our farm are:
Weds 2-6pm and Sat 9-1
Open CSA pick up and downtown farm stand hours are:  (main street, across from the Community Health Center):
Thursdays 4-6pm
Our CSA is currently enrolling for 2024, for pick up at the farm, downtown or for free delivery to your door.
We can also be found at the Saturday Greenfield Farmers Market, Every Sat morning from June-Oct at the corner of Main and Federal in Greenfield, MA.
