Massachusetts Organic Food Guide

Description

We are a nonprofit community farm located on the historic Angino farmstead in Newton. We strive to benefit the community by

• Providing locally-grown produce through our CSA, our farm stand, and Newton Farmers' Markets
• Educating the public about the sustainable use of land and other natural resources through hands-on classes, workshops, and drop-in farm hours
• Preserving Newton's last working farm as a historic site and valuable open space
• Connecting gardening enthusiasts through events and networking opportunities

A portion of the food grown on site is donated to people in need through the Newton Food Pantry.

CSA

We have a 78-member CSA that runs about 20-weeks, from early June through October. Weekly shares cost $570 plus 12 hours of labor during the season. Alternate week shares cost $300 plus six hours of labor. All CSA members must belong to our Friends of the Farm program. CSA members pick up their produce at the farm Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2 to 7 p.m.
