The Food Project started in 1991 as a way to bring together youth and adults across the divides of race and class through the shared work of farming. Since our founding, The Food Project has grown into a nationally-recognized non-profit organization that works at the intersection of youth, food, and community. Over the past 25 years, we have grown from a single two-acre farm in Lincoln, Mass., to an organization that now maintains 70 acres of both urban and suburban farms in five towns on the North Shore and in Greater Boston. We believe that food is a unique vehicle for creating personal and social change. We believe that everyone should have access to fresh, local, healthy, affordable food regardless of age, gender identity, socio-economic background, or the color of your skin. The Food Project aims to transform our food system into an equitable and inclusive model that is community-controlled and supports food justice for all. Working in partnership, we can realize the vision of a more sustainable and just food system.
