We are committed to providing access to organically grown food to everyone in our community, including those experiencing food insecurity. During our CSA growing season, we are fortunate to collaborate with Foodlink and the Lexington Food Pantry to fulfill that promise.Access to fresh organic produce is not something that’s easy to come by for people in need. Foodlink has an incredibly efficient model that picks up food donations and matches availability to need across 30 different social service organizations. Arlington Eats offers a market where Arlington residents can “shop” for free for produce, dairy, meats and non-perishable items. Lexington Food Pantry provides a weekly opportunity for Lexington residents to pick up produce and a variety of non-perishable items. Boston Area Gleaners gathers additional surplus crops and delivers them to food banks, pantries, community kitchens, and other food access initiatives.

Foodlink operates 7 days a week, 363 days a year and distributes food to over 5,000 individuals every month. Every one of our CSA program’s twenty weeks, Foodlink recovers donated and unclaimed shares and brings our vegetables to the people who need it most. Lexington Food Pantry and Arlington Eats benefit from our volunteer gleaning program, which harvest and deliver surplus crops to each of them for donation.
