Three Sisters is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and farm in Ipswich, Massachusetts, working to make local food accessible to all. We grow mixed vegetables, herbs and flowers on 3.5 acres for a 200 person CSA (free and sliding scale options available) and for food access distribution partners.

We are stewarding our farmland and growing fresh produce for neighbors facing food insecurity. We value quality, dignity, and choice: the same produce from our fields feeds everyone, regardless of ability to pay. We don't offer "seconds" for food access, but our first and freshest harvest to all.
