Mission Statement
Gaining Ground's mission is to provide free, sustainably grown, fresh organic produce to people experiencing food insecurity. We do this with the helping hands of a diverse community of volunteers who work and learn with us on our farm. We envision a future where everyone has equitable access to healthy, sustainably grown produce.
Description
Gaining Ground is a 3 acre non-profit, no-till, organic farm in Concord, MA that grows fresh produce for 15 hunger relief organizations with the help of community volunteers. We donate 100% of the vegetables, fruit, cut flowers, maple syrup and honey that we grow. In the 2022 farming season we grew over 115,000 pounds of produce, supplying more than 1,200 food-insecure households each week in the Greater Boston region. We welcomed over 3,100 volunteers of all ages and abilities to the farm this past season. Come visit, meet our farmers, learn about our hunger relief work, and have fun on the farm!
