Newton Community Farm

Newton Community Farm is a nonprofit working farm, the last one left in Newton, that grows fresh produce while engaging the community in sustainable agriculture and good environmental practices. Visitors come for vegetables, seasonal family events and a fall tradition aimed at kids that fills a morning with creative activities. The farm’s mission links food growing directly to building community among the people who live nearby.

Its layout today owes much to a master plan created by founding board member Ted Chapman, and founding president Jon Regosin has joined public conversations on what community farms mean and whom they serve. The farm offers a biweekly late fall community supported agriculture share with spinach, kale, carrots and daikon, supplemented by potatoes and winter squash from partner farms.
