Come enjoy all the excitement at the farm this summer! Help us harvest and wash produce, build compost piles, walk the nature trail, learn about the many different herbs and their uses, plan and care for flowers and vegetables and play lots of fun games! We'll learn about our beehives, maybe get a little bit muddy and enjoy the great open space! Please bring waters, snack and a lunch. Sunscreen must be applied before arriving at the farm. There is an indoor space if inclement weather occurs. The Medway Community Farm is located at 50 Winthrop Street.

About Medway Community Farm:
Medway Community Farm is a registered 501(c)3 charity located in Medway, Massachusetts.
Our mission is to maintain a place that enhances Medway’s rural character, fosters community spirit and encourages “learning from the land” by providing and increasing access to locally grown food, volunteer experiences, educational programming, and public events.
Our Story
Medway Community Farm (MCF) was founded through grassroots efforts in 2009 with the goal of stewarding land for agricultural and educational purposes. With the support of our community, volunteers, board, and staff, the Farm now occupies 18 acres of growing fields, conservation land, walking trails, and wooded areas.
Through sustainable and organic growing practices, our fields yield fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers that we provide to Members through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model as well as to retail customers online, in the Farm Store, and at local Farmers Markets. We are committed to building food access in our area by participating in SNAP & HIP programs, and by donating a portion of the produce we grow to the food pantries at Medway Village Church and Mahan Circle, as well as Medway House Family Shelter.
MCF strives to create a gathering place dedicated to a shared passion for nature, land stewardship, and organic farming by offering meaningful hands-on educational programs and on-farm community events that cater to all ages. Visitors are encouraged to stop by and walk the property using farm roads and walking trails. We also welcome you to reach out and schedule a visit with us.
