Sharing the Harvest Community Farm

Sharing the Harvest is a volunteer-driven community farm established in 2006 as a grassroots effort to fight hunger and help feed our neighbors in need. The farm produces thousands of pounds of produce annually, 100% of which gets donated to hunger relief programs throughout the southcoast region.

Our mission:

1. Alleviate hunger for children, families and adults in need of food assistance throughout the South Coast region of Massachusetts by growing and distributing nutritious food.
2. Promote volunteerism, an awareness of hunger in our communities, and build community through neighbors helping neighbors.
3. Teach volunteers about agriculture, nutrition, and food origination.

Since 2006, volunteers have contributed over 64,000 hours of service, engaged in 25,000 visits to the farm, and have made it possible to donate over 547,000 pounds of produce. Everything grown on the farm is donated to our neighbors in need through a partnership with the United Way of Greater New Bedford's Hunger Commission.

Sharing the Harvest also provides hands-on educational opportunities for volunteers to learn about agriculture and food security. Our fields serve as an outdoor classroom for learners of all ages.
