The Ideals Organic farming is broadly defined as a farming system that respects the balance of natural cycles and works as much as possible within those natural cycles. Practically for us at Many Hands it means that we use foliar nutritional applications, natural rock powders, vegetable meals, crop rotation, heavy mulches, wood chips, and corrugated cardboard, cover crops, and animals in rotation with vegetables and fruits. We extend the season on both ends with the use of unheated hoop houses.

New Braintree

New Braintree

Heavens Harvest Farm was begun by Ashley and Ethel Howard and their three children in 1994. Their vision was to serve customers with wholesome, organic fruit and vegetables. They resurrected a run-down old farm and carved out a small field from a windy hillside strewn with enormous boulders to plant their first crops. ​ From these humble beginnings, many years of hard labor, and God's grace, the farm has grown to cultivate over 100 acres annually and serve thousands of customers every year throu

Free Living Farm was a dream sprouted from both of us when we lived across the country and has taken us on an exciting journey so far! The farm is run by Michael Zueger and Cara (Germain) Zueger. We inherently share many responsibilities, decisions and labor of running a farm business as only two people, but take the lead in different aspects of farming. Fortunately we have a complimentary skillset and outlook while enjoying what we’re doing, though running a business with your partner can certa

We are proud to bring to market animal proteins like we used to eat years and years ago. We take pride in caring for every aspect of our farm, from the complexities of managing an expansive 350-acre farmland to assuring that each individual egg is nest-laid and hand-gathered. We are dev

The name Lilac Hedge Farm was named after my grandparent's dairy. I decided on it in middle school when I started collecting farm animals and needed a name. My family's house had a lot of lilacs where I was keeping the animals and I wanted to pay tribute to my grandfather, with whom I was very close (pictured below): Lilac Hedge Farm was founded by William MacKay in 1898 at the corner of Salisbury and Flagg Streets in Worcester. My great-grandfather moved the dairy to 876 Salisbury St. in Holden

This is how we started. Like most non-profits we have morphed into what best works for the space and the community over the last few years but our roots, our friends and our mission remain.

We continue to GROW-TEACH-GIVE with the support of the community FOR the community! Still images from 1:00-1:05 an

Brookfield

What began as Donald Grimes' 1981 hobby hive — bought from legendary Ware beekeeper Frank Lagrant after bee school — is now a three-generation Brookfield apiary whose first harvest of six meager pounds convinced Donald that real raw honey tastes nothing like the store-bought kind. Today the family sells pure wildflower honey, creamed honey, honeybee pollen, honey candy, hand creams, and beeswax at retail spots, fairs, and by call-or-text order around the clock.

Sterling

When I (the sole member of the family’s 4th generation) graduated from college in 2017 with a degree in agriculture, I knew I wanted to come back to the family farm to make my life here. I added cows, goats, and chickens to the menagerie of farm critters, and they’ve been quickly put to work to utilize and restore the pastures that had been abandoned for so long. Buildings are being repainted, old machinery gets pulled out of the weeds, and a field of flowers now grows near the farm stand (thank
