Welcome to Allandale Farm!
Join us for an incredibly fun and educational tour of Allandale Farm, a historic gem in Brookline, MA. From tomatoes to lettuce, kale to sweet potatoes, hot peppers to melons, their produce is harvested and washed every morning, providing unmatched freshness, flavor, nutritional value, and shelf life. If you've ever wanted to see how your food goes from ground to plate, this is the perfect opportunity to learn how a farm operates and maintains its commitment to sustainable agriculture.
This tour offers a unique perspective into Allandale Farm's growing practices and how they are deeply linked to their role as land stewards and neighbors. They prioritize the long-term health of their land, employees, and customers through agricultural methods that improve soil health, combat weeds, diseases, and pests naturally. Their techniques include crop rotation, cover cropping, natural barriers, beneficial plants and insects, and disease-resistant plant varieties. They never use herbicides or conventional pesticides, ensuring a healthy and safe environment for all.
New England boasts a rich community of high-quality food crafters, and they proudly collaborate with small businesses to preserve New England foodways and introduce innovative ideas to their food system. They can't wait to welcome you to their farm!
