Support Vital Improvements at Newton’s Last Working Farm

Thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, we reached our $50,000 Strengthen the Farm Summer Campaign goal! Every single gift helped us get here. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who gave, spread the word, or contributed to the inspiring matching pool. It’s a powerful reminder of what our community can accomplish—together.

Your support is already at work. The new deck is nearly complete, and now we’re preparing for the other essential improvements your gifts are making possible: repainting the interior of our historic farmhouse, repairing the barn and tractor bay doors, and replacing the specialized deck doors. Each of these projects strengthens the foundation that allows us to grow healthy food—and a healthy community—on Newton’s only working farm.

While the Summer Campaign phase has wrapped, our Strengthen the Farm Fund will continue year-round to support critical infrastructure needs. This fund helps ensure we can fulfill our mission and donate at least 10% of our annual harvest to local food pantries.

Curious what’s next for the Strengthen the Farm Fund?

One important project on the horizon is a refrigerated truck—a big step forward in expanding cold storage, increasing harvest efficiency, and expanding our produce donations to local food pantries. We’ve already secured $11,000 in grants toward the truck’s estimated $95,000 cost.

Your continued support will help make this—and other future infrastructure improvements—possible.
