Fall is the perfect time to explore farming education at the farm! From cooking delicious food, to planting and harvesting crops, to caring for the Waltham Fields’ chickens, there’s so much to do! Our Learning Garden Farming Education Programs enable hands-on learning about the natural world and the farm environment, healthy cooking, and group cooperation. Gardeners participate in a range of activities such as planting vegetables, exploring the compost pile, observing wildlife, playing games, and cooking.

Waltham Fields Community Farm (WFCF) promotes local agriculture and food access through our farming operations and farming education programs, using practices that are socially, ecologically, and economically sustainable. We encourage healthy relationships between people, their food supply, and the land from which it grows. We envision communities in which sustainable agriculture plays a central role in creating universal access to the food and beauty of local farms.
