Boston's only organic farm helps the homeless and ex-convicts get quality food and rebuild lives.
It produces nearly 30,000 pounds of high-quality food for more than 800 homeless people it serves each day in New England's largest city. The 4-acre organic vegetable, flower and herb farm at Long Island Shelter also provides hands-on job training, work-readiness skills, life skills and education for homeless individuals as part of the Serving Ourselves Job Training Program.
The farm provides volunteer opportunities and also gives those in the Culinary Arts program of Serving Ourselves the chance to work with a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, and learn skills that would otherwise not be possible due to prohibitive cost, like pickling, drying, and cooking with fresh herbs.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
There are several ways to support both Serving Ourselves Farm and its parent organization, Friends of Boston's Homeless. That includes volunteering, sponsoring orchard plants and adopting a row of vegetables for $100 or a beehive for $250. For more information about how to
donate or volunteer, visit the fobh.org or contact Farm Manager Erica LaFountain at elafountain@bphc.org or 617-534-2526, Extension 46107.
