ECG’s New Farm on Broadway- Est 2021

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.

ECG’s Farmstand

Since 2016 we have been donating to the Bread of Life. In 2020 ECG piloted our first farmstand. Currently, all food grown at the ECG Farm by our Youth Crew is sold at the stand, distributed in Everett Public School Cafeterias, and donated to Bread of Life and Mystic Community Market food pantries. We strive to make our food accessible to all, especially in the greater Everett area where there is a high demand for locally sourced produce (see Everett Food Plan). Importantly, in 2020 we became Everett’s ONLY authorized Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) vendor, bringing new state money into the community and increasing food access during a pandemic.
