Join the 2024 Brookwood team (see email below) or donate. Registration opens in the spring, so consider joining our team to ride on October 1 or participate on your own time in the Off the Beaten Path “virtual” option! Swim? Hike? Paddle? Walk? Bike on paths? The sky is the limit!
We aim to raise over $17,500 in needed funds for our work, donate food to several local food pantries, work with Mattapan Food & Fitness Coalition, support accessible CSA shares, and more. Thanks to you, the host Three Square New England (TSNE), and their sponsors!

End of Season
SALE
TBD November 2024
Brookwood's annual End-of-Season Sale is a great opportunity to stock up on fresh, locally grown produce. The sale is held on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, making it the perfect time to gather ingredients for holiday meals and store food for the winter season. We have two great options for getting produce: you can show up to the sale and buy $10 bulk bags and individual items, or you can pre-order a Harvest Box from Brookwood's online store.
Thank you for joining us for the Brookwood Community Farm Annual Meeting! A Request for Proposal (RFP) for use of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR)’s Brookwood Farm is to be announced publicly this Spring or early Summer. The board and staff are currently planning and organizing to prepare a fantastic proposal for submission. We want to discuss this at the meeting and garner your support and ideas. Please join us! The Friends of Prowse Farm are generously hosting us again in the historic house.

Annual
Fall Farm Fundraiser
TBD
Farm fundraisers are important each year to continue to provide our regular fresh produce donations to five local food pantries, provide reduced price produce to a farm stand in Mattapan, provide greater access to fresh food through CSA financial aid and more, such as building up our capital funds for bigger, depreciating items such as tractors, trucks, and trailers, necessary to grow! If you are interested in future sponsorship or donating, including items for a raffle and silent auction, please reach us at events@brookwoodcommunityfarm.org.
