Waltham Fields Community Farm
Envisioning communities with equitable access to
the beauty, sanctuary,and food of local, sustainable farms.
Our Programs
Service
Service Learning is a core way in which we engage with our greater community, and engage our community with the land. Through individual and group volunteer opportunities, field trips, and community events the public is able to experience the sanctuary of green space, and the vital nourishment that comes from connecting with nature.
Education
Our place based, seasonally driven education programs for all ages engage students in the natural world around them, while teaching them gardening, foraging and culinary skills.
Food Access
Through mobile outreach markets, and community partnships with health care providers, food pantries, and public schools, we bring local, nourishing food to our community and remove barriers between indivuduals and thier food supply.
Agriculture
Regenerative Agriculture and Organice growing practives are at the core of what we do. Healthy soil produces healthy plants, to better nurish our friends and neighbors.
"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."
"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."
"Waltham Fields Community Farm is advancing a community-rooted solution to food insecurity—one that nurtures health, connection, and dignity."
"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."
"I think you all have the customer service side of this down in a great way, in addition to the farming. It's easy to get information, I feel like so many needs/requests are accommodated, and you're all very personable and responsive. I treasure what you do, thank you!"
"I so appreciate the farm and everything that it means for the community, the Earth and for our health."

A City Sanctuary In Waltham
“We acknowledge that Waltham Fields Community Farm cultivates land located within the Quinobequin watershed and the traditional, contemporary, unceded territories of Indigenous nations including the Massachusett and Pawtucket (sometimes called the Pennacook or Merrimack) Tribes. Waltham Fields Community Farm acknowledges and amplifies the voice of those Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of the land and seeks to connect and support the enduring relationship that exists between their people and their traditional territories.”
