The Farm Team is a group of volunteers who are involved in farming on the Commons. This includes the kitchen garden, the apple orchard, blueberry beds, and the little field, where each year we plant an abundance of vegetables, fruit, herbs and perennial flower beds. We also help with the general maintenance of the land, and maintain a seed library. During the summer months we have a mid-week farmer's market on the Commons.
