The Community Garden

Growing your own food at the community garden is a wonderful way to become more self-sufficient while also becoming connected to a resourceful, skilled, and vibrant local community.

The Community Garden is located on the east side of the main production field at the Greenfield Community Farm. Our garden is central to Just Roots’ mission of increasing access to local, healthy food in Franklin County. It was first established by members of the Pleasant Street Community Garden in Greenfield.

If you are interested in signing up, or to learn more, please contact us at: garden@justroots.org or call us at: 413-325-8969.

The garden contains 67 garden plots, managed organically by individuals, families, friends, and community organizations. Our beautiful garden shed, which holds our community tools, available to all gardeners, was built in 2013 by an all-volunteer team, led by builder extraordinaire Gary Seldon. The garden also contains a wheelchair accessible raised bed, a cobb oven, and two community plots with picnic tables – two of which were built by community gardeners.

Due to the government shutdown, November SNAP benefits will be delayed for the 1.1 million Massachusetts residents that rely on the program.

Approximately one quarter of Just Roots’s Three Season CSA members and one third of our Summer CSA members depend on SNAP to access farm-fresh local food. Dozens more use their benefits at our stand at the Greenfield Farmers Market. While we’re grateful for HIP in MA, without at least $0.01 in SNAP benefits, HIP cannot be used.

Just Roots is stepping up to cover the cost of SNAP CSA shares through the end of the year or until the government reopens.

Help us fundraise to support the families right here in our community who won’t be able to afford our local food without SNAP benefits. Consider a monthly sustaining donation to keep our community fed this month and beyond.
