Today, we care for 116 spectacular and diverse reservations spanning more than 26,000 acres- from working farms, landscaped and urban gardens, and community parks, to barrier beaches, forests, campgrounds, inns and historic sites, many of which are National Historic Landmarks - located within minutes of every resident. We are also the founding partner of the Boston Public Market, the first all locally-sourced indoor market of its kind in the nation where we operate our Appleton Farms vendor booth and are the programming partner for the Market’s demonstration KITCHEN where we run culinary, health and wellness programs.
