We are committed to growing practices that promote the health of our soil, our produce, and our customers. We use sustainable growing methods that emphasize long-term soil health, such as minimizing tillage damage and using green manures and compost. While not certified organic, we use no herbicides or synthetic fertilizers, and any pesticides are approved for organic use.

Newton Community Farm’s produce is available through four channels:

• our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) produce share programs:
  • Summer CSA Program
  • Late Fall CSA Program
• our onsite farm stand starting in late June–November. 
• Newton Farmers’ Market on Saturdays June–October. 
• weekly donations during the growing season to local organizations such as the Newton Food Pantry, the Newton Community Freedge, and Boston Area Gleaners.

Sample herb and vegetable crops (often more than one variety of each):

• Herbs: basil, cilantro, dill, thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary, chives
• Leafy greens: arugula, bok choi, tatsoi, chard, kales, lettuces, spinach, mustard
