A New Season Begins...

Our farm in Grafton has a great start this year, with early plantings, cooperative weather (for once!), and many helpful volunteers to get things going. Hope is in full bloom for a great harvest this year!

We're overjoyed to welcome a new intern this year, Courtney, who is working with our team leaders along with Farm Manager Ken Dion. It's also great to have our Volunteer Coordinator Maia back for the new season!

"Thank you", also, to all our volunteers who make this effort a continuing success! Be sure to join us again this year, and help your Central Mass. neighbors and their kids!
