As the stewards of Somerville’s only urban farm, we employ 30+ local youth each season to help us produce over 2,000 lbs. of organic produce for our community annually! Our fresh produce goes directly to residents for free or subsidized prices through the Somerville Mobile Farmers Market, our local soup kitchen, Project Soup, and our local community fridge. Our crop plan is informed by community input, increasing access to produce relevant to our diverse community, and empowering community members to share their stories and cultural traditions through food.
