Broadway Farm
In 2021, while the original farm site on the Norther Strand Community Trail was under construction, Everett Community Growers was able to partner with the City of Everett to secure the Broadway Farm.
This farm is located on the front lawn of the “Old” Everett High School at 548 Broadway, conveniently located in a high pedestrian area and bus stop.
In the summer of 2021, our Youth Crew partnered with the Museum of Science, Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) and La Comunidad to conduct research on urban heat islands and their impacts. Our farm was identified as consistently being 5-10 degrees higher than surrounding areas. We have adjusted the types of food we grow here to minimize the need for excess water and increase out successful yield.
Northern Strand Community Farm
Our first farm, Northern Strand Community Farm (NSCF) opened on the Northern Strand Community Trail in 2016. The produce we grew at the farm was donated to Bread of Life, a local nonprofit that provides free food to community members in need. In 2020, ECG piloted our first farm stand and became Everett’s only authorized Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) vendor and helped increase food access during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
ECG’s Farm Stand
Since 2020, ECG has operated a farm stand during the summer and fall season. We sell produce grown directly from our Broadway and Northern Strand Community Farm. With the help of our Youth Crew, we’re able to provide fresh, affordable, and healthy food for purchase!
At our farm stands, we sell $5 and $10 bags and allows customers to buy a variety of produce at an affordable price. We accept cash, credit cards, SNAP/EBT payments, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Coupons at our farm stands. ECG is a Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) which means money gets put back on your EBT card* when you use SNAP to buy from us. For more information about HIP please visit their website here.
ECG also offers customers the option of an online order ahead pick-up. On weeks when our farm stand isn’t open, customers can order bags of produce online and pick-up their order at one of our farms.
