Newhall Fields Community Farm Inc.

“This year alone three capital improvements including a lean-to structure, walk-in-cooler, and two-wheeled walk-behind tractor with implements provide the resources and mechanisms for Newhall Fields Community Farm (Newhall Fields) to increase direct-to-consumer sales to our most vulnerable and insecure families. Innovations we make to grow more nutritious produce demonstrate the power of our community-driven approach. Over the long-term, we are dedicated to strengthening the three pillars of our work (food access, regenerative organic agriculture, and community engagement) and mindfully expanding our influence throughout the communities we serve. Newhall Fields came into being because changemakers in our community saw an opportunity to grow food with people for people. We can close the food gap by growing food right here in our community that is healthy, culturally familiar, affordable, accessible, and inclusive. Newhall Fields is a SNAP approved HIP certified non-profit direct-to-consumer urban farm. Our community farm includes a 1/4 acre mixed vegetable farm and herb garden on our 2-acre plot on the 17-acre City of Peabody owned Tillie's Farm. Newhall Fields's programs and services were severely impacted by the pandemic, resulting in scaled-back numbers of volunteers, programs, and produce. Still, we manage to both produce and regularly distribute high volumes of nutritious food to various sectors of the food system and reach a significant number of community members through both our distribution and outdoor educational programs-meeting an immediate need. Our down-to-earth, hand-tooled regenerative farming produced over 5,500 pounds of food in 2022. Consisting of 40 different varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs and 140 varieties of perennial herbs. 80% of our produce went directly to low- to moderate-income families via emergency food providers and farm share produce boxes. We work with hunger relief organizations, senior living facilities, youth and immigrant support organizations, and other community partners to distribute food in Peabody, Lynn, Lynnfield, and Salem. This year we have increased staff and resources. In addition to our part-time farmer, we hired two part-time seasonal farm assistants and a Youth Crew Leader. We are a volunteer-powered farm annually doubling production and enhancing education, job opportunities, and community engagement. We provide green jobs and hands-on volunteer experiences for youth. We engage community members of all ages and abilities through volunteering, internships, youth programs, field trips, farm tours, and farm-based education programs. This year alone three-hundred community members have volunteered over 2,300 hours of volunteer labor on the farm. Twenty skilled community members share their knowledge, expertise and donate their time and talent to manage the operations, administration and financials of this nonprofit organization, donating 1,400 hours. In addition, Newhall Fields is a weekly job training site for twelve Northeast Arc clients and their staff leaders. This spring and fall our Saturday high school program successfully engage 37 high school students who learned sustainable agriculture for a total of 200 hours. 80% of the students come more than one time. 50% of these students came five times or more. A fully funded summer Youth Crew internship program benefiting seven young people from underserved households earning wages plus transportation services as needed. These programs provided students with the opportunity to be in person with their peers learning, leading, and growing in a safe environment. Newhall Fields has been awarded federal, state, and local grants to expand acreage in production and support programming, host a variety of on-farm programs, leadership trainings, and summer internships. Newhall Fields top three grants include: VanOtterloo Family Foundation, $13,391, provides support for our summer Youth Crew program; the Massachusetts Department o”
