Volunteers
From our first days as an impassioned citizen group, volunteers have been the backbone of Grow Food Northampton. We continue to rely on volunteers to support our programs so we can provide local farm foods to community members experiencing food insecurity, grow food and enrich the earth on the Grow Food Northampton Community Farm, support local farmers by bringing them together with customers at our weekly farmers markets, and so much more!
Thank you for creating a just and resilient local food system with us!
