Waltham Fields Community Farm

Growing Food & Cultivating Community


Waltham Fields Community Farm is a nonprofit community farm in Waltham, Massachusetts, where sustainable agriculture, food access, education, and community participation come together.

OUR MISSION

Cultivating equitable community relationships, the land we farm, and the sustainable farming movement.


What began as a volunteer effort to grow food for neighbors experiencing food insecurity has grown into a place where people come together to grow, learn, volunteer, and share in the harvest.

Our Work

Agriculture

Healthy soil grows healthy food. Through sustainable farming practices, we care for the land while growing fresh, seasonal produce for our community.

Help Grow Another Year at Waltham Fields


As this growing season comes to a close, we're already thinking about the next one. Our farmers are planning for the fields, our educators are preparing for another year in the Learning Garden, and our Food Access team is looking ahead to the work of sharing fresh, locally grown food with our neighbors.


Your year-end gift helps us continue that work.

From Our Community

"I live close by. Every morning, I look out at the Farm, and I can come over here and just be. It feels like a respite in the middle of the City."

"Through VegRx and our partnership with Waltham Fields Community Farm, we are not just clinically advising patients to improve nutrition for their health, but actually providing them the means to access the fresh produce and nutritional education that will support their health goals."


Klavdia, Charles River Community Health

"Our family has been enjoying the WFCF programs for many years now and absolutely love them. My kids have been part of Summer in the farm every summer and is the place they always are looking forward to go and want to come back every time. Outdoor play, getting dirty and learning about farming and cooking, make the best enrichment experience for them."

A City Sanctuary In Waltham

For more than 30 years, Waltham Fields Community Farm has been a place to grow food, learn, volunteer, and spend time outdoors. As a working farm in the city, this land offers something increasingly precious: open space where people can connect with nature, agriculture, and one another.


Caring for this land means making sure it continues to serve our community for generations to come.
