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 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."

"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!"

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.
