Founded in 2017, Iron Ox Farm is a first-generation farm committed to organic and sustainable agriculture. Situated in Hamilton, Massachusetts, the farm moved to its permanent home on the historic site of Green Meadows Farm in 2021 and operates under a 99-year ground lease with Essex County Greenbelt.
Iron Ox Farm is fully certified organic, meaning they don't use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, focusing on improving the health of their land while growing nutrient-rich food. This commitment to organic, sustainable agriculture ensures that they meet both environmental and community health goals.
Iron Ox Farm offers a robust Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program that promotes community engagement and food security. Through collaborations with organizations like Nourishing the North Shore, their Farm SHARE initiative provides subsidized CSA shares, enhancing food justice by making fresh, local produce available to low to moderate-income families.
The farm spans eight acres, cultivating a diverse array of vegetables, grains, flowers, and blueberries. CSA shares are available in both summer and fall, offering weekly pickups of fresh, organic produce. Additionally, participants can enjoy picking their own bouquets of organically grown flowers during the summer months.
Iron Ox Farm's commitment to food justice is evidenced through their collaboration with Nourishing the North Shore's Farm SHARE program. This partnership enables them to offer subsidized shares and ensures equitable access to healthy food for the local community.
Customers can support Iron Ox Farm by joining the CSA, which accepts SNAP/HIP benefits at their seasonal farmstand, allowing broader access to their produce. Convenient online and in-person payment options are available, emphasizing accessibility and community involvement.
Iron Ox Farm isn't just about growing crops; it's about nurturing a community and fostering a deeper connection to the land. Their dedication to sustainable farming and food justice makes them a cornerstone of the North Shore's agricultural community.
