Kelly Lake
Farm Educator
Kelly became interested in farming, food and education while finishing her studies at Boston College. Soon after earning a degree in Human Development from the Lynch School of Education, she co-founded a successful culinary arts and health education program in Roxbury called ‘Take Back the Kitchen.’ In addition to her work teaching parents and children from Roxbury and Dorchester about the importance of cooking healthful food from scratch and supporting sustainable local food economies, she has worked on several farms in Massachusetts including Haley House’s Noonday Farm in Winchendon and Eva’s Garden in South Dartmouth. Kelly is excited to be a part of all of the wonderful educational opportunities that already exist at Newton Community Farm and is looking forward to expanding the farm’s educational programming.
