ANNUAL SEEDLING SALE
May 11th, 11 AM - 3 PM
May 12th, 9 AM - 3 PM
Seedlings are carefully started in the greenhouse each year. A big weekend sale in early May welcomes members and the public to the farm to select what they need for home, school, or community growing.
Join us for the 2024 Ride for Food, a fundraiser to fight food insecurity in New England. Funds raised through this event will allow us to continue our mission of increasing access to fresh, local food in our community. We aim to raise $18,000 to support our work with accessible CSA shares and donations of fresh local food to our network of food access partners, including pantries, community centers, and the Greater Boston Food Bank.
The ride is on Sunday, October 6th, and starts at the Nobles and Greenough campus in Dedham with 25, 50, and 62-mile course route options. There is also a 5K walk on October 6th at the Nobles and Greenough campus. You can also participate in the “Off the Beaten Path” virtual and flexible activity to raise funds! Complete a run, ride, hike, or walk at your own pace, anytime, from anywhere between now and November 30th, 2024.
Email Robert Cormack to learn more about joining our team or volunteering to support The Ride!

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.
