Allandale Farm

Allandale Farm is a working vegetable farm serving the Greater Boston area, including Jamaica Plain, Brookline, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Newton and Chestnut Hill. It grows tomatoes, lettuce, kale, sweet potatoes, hot peppers, melons and more, harvested and washed every morning for its farmstand, and it also sells local apples and pumpkins. The farm runs a garden center, a CSA and a summer camp, hosts festivals, workshops and events, and sells produce wholesale to area restaurants and chefs.

The farm uses sustainable and traditional organic practices, building soil health and relying on cover crops, crop rotation, natural barriers, beneficial plants and insects and disease-resistant varieties instead of herbicides and conventional pesticides, though it has chosen to forgo organic certification. Allandale is in the middle of a transition, with a new year-round farmstand, garden center and greenhouse under construction and expected to open in 2027, while the current garden center operates from a glass greenhouse by the pond.
