About
We are a small family farm located in Springfield MA, growing vegetables and fruit using organic, no till methods. We have a Farm Share and Farm Stand open Wednesdays and Thursdays 2 – 6 pm. We are also working with community members to develop a medicinal herb garden. We believe that all communities deserve healthy, culturally appropriate food and we hope the food we grow along with our system change work will open up access to good food for all our neighbors. We organize to create a racially just food system and to build a space where people can learn, enjoy this beautiful land, and connect across cultures.
