The Food Project

The Food Project is a non-profit organization that employs teenagers on farms in Lincoln, Roxbury and the North Shore of Massachusetts. It focuses on community improvement and outreach, and education about health, leadership, charity, and sustainable agriculture. The youth are recruited from urban areas of Boston, Lynn, and surrounding suburbs to plant and harvest crops for sale at farmers' markets and through CSA programs, and donations to local hunger-relief organizations and homeless shelters. The program fosters community building and encourages good work ethic.
