Grow Food Northampton's mission is to promote food security by advancing sustainable agriculture in the Northampton, Massachusetts area.We own a 120-acre community farm that provides access to land and markets for local farmers using sustainable practices and selling to local markets. We also manage a large community garden, the vibrant downtown Tuesday Market, and many programs providing food access to low-income families and educational opportunities for young people. Our mission to promote food security ensures that a significant portion of food produced at our Farm is subsidized for low-income households & seniors, and donated to local hunger relief agencies, and that our community garden plots are affordable to all.
