Marketplace
The Farm School not only provides experiences here on the farm but also out in the larger world -educating farmers and feeding friends and family! Here you can find out about ways to find and enjoy our delicious organic produce, all-natural meats and free-range eggs.
Fresh Organic Produce
A vital aspect of our Practical Farm Training Program is to teach student farmers how to grow the most exquisite produce possible and use the most up-to-date and best practices to market it, thereby giving them the tools to farm successfully on their own. All of the produce is planted, grown, harvested, marketed and sold by Farm School children, student farmers, and staff.
Belmont Farmer's Market
New this year we will be at the Belmont Farmer's Market. All of our in-season produce as well as all-natural meats, free-range eggs and flowers are available at our farm stand. Drop by the market on Thursdays between 2pm and 6:30pm from June until late October, bring home a taste of The Farm School and visit with staff and student-farmers!

What's a CSA?.......
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and indicates a method of marketing whereby clients purchase a share of the produce grown at the start of the season, thereby sharing in the fortunes of the season.
In addition to supplying your family with super-fresh, certified-organic produce from the fields of our Practical Farm Training Program, your participation in the CSA will support the training of our student farmers as they learn the growing practices and marketing techniques integral to successful farming in New England.
Well-Rounded CSA
A $600 membership includes a weekly half-bushel box of a variety of our certified-organic vegetables for 20 weeks. This season we will have both a Cambridge and Watertown pick-up (Tuesdays or Thursdays) and a local pick-up (Fridays) here at The Farm School.
Pick-Up
Our Boston pick-up will be at Iggys Bread of the World in Cambridge (130 Fawcett Street) and at Athenahealth in the Arsenal in Watertown each Tuesday & Thursday beginning June 3rd or 5th after noon. Local CSA members can pick-up their shares on Friday afternoons beginning June 6th anytime here at The Farm.
