About Lexington Community Farm

At LexFarm, we are committed to providing fresh, local produce to our community. We offer a variety of CSA options to meet the needs of our customers. We also provide 10% of what we grow to food insecure community members through local food rescue organizations. Our efforts to improve yields and soil health, and increase farmstand income, will help ensure our community has access to the produce they need. In 2021, LexFarm is expanding our mission of supporting food insecure community members. We are exploring additional ways to support BIPOC area residents, such as selling food items from Black-owned businesses and encouraging community members with diverse backgrounds to run for Board positions. Our dedication to providing fresh, local produce to our community is unwavering. We are committed to helping ensure our community has access to the produce they need.

For everyone’s safety, class size is limited to 10 students with two farm educators. Programs will be run entirely outdoors, so plan to dress your child accordingly.
