Events and Programs
Forum—Planting Seeds of Hope
Join Newton Community Farm as we welcome Orion Kriegman, Executive Director of The Boston Food Forest Coalition (BFFC) to share the story of the creation and ongoing work of BFFC. Building on the Community Land Trust model, BFFC has now established 14 food forest parks in Boston. These third spaces build community resilience, engage democracy, and strengthen civil society all while transforming vacant lots into edible public parks.
Annual Seedling Sale 2026
We sell 90 varieties of seedlings grown right here at Newton Community Farm at our annual seedling sale. We’re open Saturday May 16 and Sunday May 17, from 12-3 pm. In addition to our vegetable, herb, fruit, and flower seedlings, we’ll have soil amendments and NCF t-shirts for sale.
Medicine from Your Backyard Foraging Walk
Join herbalist Mo Katz-Christy for a meander through Newton Community Farm to learn how we can harvest local plants to use as medicine! Bring a notebook if you like and get ready to nibble and use all our senses to explore our botanical neighbors.
Dinner for the Farm: 20th Anniversary Celebration
Join us to celebrate 20 years of sustainable farming, fresh food, and community education!
We will honor the Farm’s initial Board members and our 20-year Farm Manager, Greg Maslowe. Together, they, along with many other co-creators, brought the Farm to life and sparked two decades of meaningful contributions to the greater Newton community—work that continues to grow and inspire.
