Join Our Team
Newton Community Farm is a 2.25 acre intensive market garden, including two moveable high tunnels, one smaller high tunnel, and two propagation greenhouses. We utilize both tillage and no-till practices. We are incorporated as a non-profit and offer educational programming and public events.
Our markets include a Summer CSA, Late Fall CSA, Fruit Share, Flower Share, farm stand, weekly farmers’ market, and weekly food donations. In the spring we hold a seedling sale during which approximately 30,000 seedlings are grown and sold to the public.
Our goal is to farm in a way that is sustainable not only for the land but also for our workers.
