How you help

From our first days as an impassioned citizen group, volunteers have been the backbone of Grow Food Northampton. We continue to rely on volunteers to support outreach and fundraising activities, participate in programs that provide food to low-income communities, and help maintain our community garden. Thank you for your interest in growing our resilient community!
About us

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.
