Company description
Brookwood Community Farm is a non-profit (often female and/or non-binary run) production-focused farm with robust CSA, market, and donations outlets. To us, sustainability means on-going improvements to our systems so we can maximize production without stressing our land or the staff.

We are production-focused in order to provide the most food to our community.
The farm cultivates five acres using organic practices, and we are located just south of Boston's Blue Hills in Canton/Milton, MA on traditional Massachusett/Wampanoag land owned by Mass DCR and Trustees of Reservations.
Folks of diverse and marginalized identities and communities are welcomed and encouraged to apply. We value respect, dignity, and inclusivity, and work to be an affirming workplace for LGBTQ and BIPOC people. If you need accommodations or have questions about accessibility in this role, please do not hesitate to ask.
