Boston Area Gleaners Farm Tour

From their fields to banana boxes! Join us on October 15th at Stonefield Farm to see how Boston Area Gleaner's rescues food. Their executive director will share their story, followed by a walk-through tour of the fields, greenhouses, pack shed, and loading docks. Learn about the different crops planted and harvested, what gleaning is, and the collection and donation of banana boxes!

Boston Area Gleaners is a regional food systems organization working at the intersection of farming, food waste, and food security. Our mission is to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables across our communities while supporting our region’s farms and reducing systemic food waste. Our vision is to facilitate a reliable and fair agricultural supply chain that will improve the viability of regional farms and the health of communities that have historically suffered from inequity in the food system.

Upon arrival at our headquarters at Stonefield Farm in Acton (91 Martin St), please park in the lot just beyond the white garage and greenhouse, which will be on your right. Overflow parking is available at the Jones Field Playground at the top of our street (54 Martin St). The walk down Martin Street takes approximately 3 minutes. Please be mindful of cars and trucks as you walk. Unfortunately, the farm is not ADA accessible.
