Mission Statement
Eastie Farm pursues climate justice, food security, and community resilience through urban agriculture, education, and the building of an equitable local food system.
About This Cause
We grow food and build community. We do so in a way that engages the full diversity of our neighborhood community, educates participants formally and informally in environmental stewardship (via rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharging by maximizing permeable surface, waste management through food scraps composting, and maintaining green open space for providing a respite and breathing room in an otherwise dense urban setting.) The food that is grown in Eastie Farm is donated to a local soup kitchen, a family shelter, and a food pantry where the diners do not otherwise have access to fresh, locally grown, organic produce. We also offer programming for school students in fun applied STEAM (Science, Technology, Education, Art, and Math) activities. By virtue of being a coastal community, East Boston is on the front line in the fight against climate change. Besides discussing resiliency (adaptation) and mitigation, we also provide hope in the form of soil carbon sequestration methods.
