ECG’s New Farm on Broadway- Est 2021

Everett Community Growers’ Farm Relocated During 2021 Season. We kept growing while the Northern Strand Community Trail was being renovated. ECG relocated to the old Everett High School at 548 Broadway, right in the heart of Everett. Many thanks to the City of Everett and Everett Public Schools for working with us to make our transition a success!

During our 2021 we had the full team of youth crew members from 2020 and three new youth crew members hired through the Mayor’s Summer Youth Jobs Program. Youth were involved in new activities, including program evaluation and data tracking, off-season research into value-added products, and farmstand expansion.

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.

What Do We Grow?

Northern Strand Community Farm

Currently Under Construction Est. 2016

• In 2016, through a land inventory and assessment in Everett, we found a farm location. At the NSCF we harvested and donated all of our produce to the Bread of Life Food Pantry in Malden. We also conduct workshops and events at the farm.
• We employed six youth crew members this season from the Everett Community, many of whom have worked for ECG for years.
• In 2020 we opened our first Northern Strand Community Farm Stand where we started accepting HIP (the healthy Incentives Program), SNAP, and P-EBT (Pandemic EBT).
• Altogether, we harvested over 900 lbs, sold over 500 lbs, and donated over 380 lbs of our very own locally grown produce!
