Needham Community Farm                                             "Let's Grow Together" 

Welcome to the Needham Community Farm Mission To create a center for environmental education for the Needham community, with a focus on teaching organic farming methods and sustainable living practices

Farm-Based Education

Through farm-based education we develop an appreciation for the environment, an understanding of where our food comes from, and an awareness of the need to preserve the resources which supply us with strength and vitality.

In addition to the direct environmental benefits of farm-based education, these programs provide low income families with access to healthy and affordable produce, encourage multi-generational learning and community building, and create a place where children can build confidence, feel a sense of accomplishment and become more self reliant.

Sustainable Living Practices

By modeling sustainable farming and living practices, from crop rotation to composting, rainwater collection to passive solar design, we plan to help community members take important steps toward reducing their environmental impact. Simple changes in the way we think and live can significantly reduce this impact, save us money, and improve our quality of life.

It is our hope that the Needham Community Farm will someday become an integral part of the Needham community as we continue to realize our mission to create a center for environmental education.
