Getting ready for another harvest on Thursday! Getting ready for another harvest on Thursday!
We are busy at work seeding in fall crops amongst We are busy at work seeding in fall crops amongst our vibrantly growing summer crops! Second picture shows a late seeding of cucumbers just getting ready for trellising. Just outside of the cukes, we seeded a 60' row of Sugar Snap peas! We love interplanting and succession planting. As we grow from the 10,000sf space we are tending now, into the rest of the field, we will continue to push the creative envelope to maximize production! Stay tuned as we bring you along our journey, cover cropping and soil prep still to come! The field is approzimately 1.5 acres and has been worked hard, without much respite, for about a decade. Ultimately, we will rotate production and keep 1/2 acre in a succession of cover crops at all times to give the land a break and build healthier soils!
We are so thrilled to deliver our first harvest fr We are so thrilled to deliver our first harvest from our primary production field in Wayland this week! We are even more thrilled to announce an incredible partnership with @opentablema, a strategic partner of the Greater Boston Food Bank!!! Through this partnership we will fulfill our main goal and mission of growing food to support hunger relief efforts in our communities. These past 7 months we ( @kathy.martin.315428 @deeleysan @hannah_traggis @bostonbackyardgarden) have sprinted up a very long road to get here! From forming a brand new 501(c)(3)organization, securing 1.5 acres of farmland, creating a dedicated food pantry field for Medway Community Farm, breaking ground and cultivating our own field, it has been a breathless and epic journey! We feel strongly that this is just the beginning, and with our incredible new partner, Open Table, we plan to go beyond hunger relief and will work to address some of the deeper causes if food insecurity! Join us for the ride! Visit our website (link in bio!) and sign up for our newsletter! And best of all, join us in the field and help us grow this beautiful, organic produce, weekly volunteer opportunities abound!!! #hungerrelief #partnership #gratitude #organicallygrown #freshfood #nutritionforall #foodaccess

Some delicious produce coming along in the Food Pa Some delicious produce coming along in the Food Pantry plot we tend for @medwaycommunityfarm ! We are harvesting already, seems like we just started yesterday! This plot is much smaller than our main farm field in Wayland, so we have gotten creative with inter planting various crops together such as beets under planted with our snap peas! Our main site in Wayland is coming along nicely too! First harvest there is right around the corner! It's all coming together and really happening!!! #growfood #organicallygrown #foodjustice #foodpantry #hungerrelief #farm
