Working

  • Harvest workshares commit to working one morning a week (Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday), from 8 am to 12 pm, during the CSA season (spring, summer, and/or fall). The spring CSA share is May 21-June 17, the summer CSA share is June 19-Sept. 23, and the fall CSA share is Sept. 25-Nov. 19. As a benefit, harvesters receive a CSA share on weeks worked!
  • Harvest workshares work directly with our farmers to harvest and wash produce for the CSA. Tasks include harvesting in various fields, moving heavy bins, and weighing produce. If time permits, workshares may perform other farm work.
  • The harvest crew is a critical component to farm operations. We ask harvesters to be aware of keeping their hands moving while talking and to transition quickly between tasks. Effective harvesters allow us to get food to our members and food access partners on time, in good condition and at a rate that ensures the farm remains sustainable.
  • Workshares need to be able to lift up to 30 lbs, and work in all weather conditions.
  • We ask that workshares support our farm by becoming members through our website.

Mission Statement

Brookwood Community Farm's purpose is to reclaim underutilized farmland for agricultural and research purposes, while maintaining and cultivating ecological richness and diversity and involving local communities in educational programs and direct hands on participation in farming and conservation activities.

Description

The Brookwood Community Farm is a working farm located in Milton and Canton, MA. Brookwood Community Farm’s mission is to build a farm-centered community that members call their own. Farm members are united by a shared passion for sustainable agriculture, fresh local food, and a commitment to increasing access to healthy food. Brookwood grows food sustainably for members through a community supported agriculture (CSA) model, provides on-farm educational and community-building opportunities, and actively supports food access projects. Although Brookwood Community Farm is not organic certified, we follow the Northeast Organic Farmer’s Association organic pledge, which outlines the environmentally and socially sustainable practices we follow.
