ABOUT MacCluskey Farm
MacCluskey Farm is located on three small plots in Medford, MA and on a quarter acre plot in Beverly, MA. Regenerative farming is at the heart of MacCluskey Farm, and we take pride in using sustainable practices that grow healthier plants and soil without artificial inputs.
Our farm is dedicated to providing high-quality, locally grown vegetables to our community through our CSA membership, direct sales and deliveries, and local farmers market participation. Additionally, a substantial portion of our harvest will be donated to Boston-area food nonprofits and food pantries. Every dollar you spend helps us donate even more healthy food to those who need it.
Sustainably Grown Produce
At MacCluskey Farm, we are committed to the most sustainable practices possible, such as no-till, cover cropping, and keeping our produce free from fertilizers and pesticides. Our commitment to sustainable agriculture ensures that our vegetables are not only delicious but also produced with the utmost care for the environment. Our growing practices are in a constant state of adaptation and improvement.
Farmer Dan's STORY
I have been a professional gardener for about a decade and have been running a small urban hobby farm for years to help feed my family.I live in Medford, MA with my wife and our toddler, and my mother lives downstairs. We are excited to develop MacCluskey Farm into a family venture.
I have been deeply concerned about climate change, the collapse of our global food system, economic exploitation and the lack of healthy and affordable vegetables for so many in the Boston area. Additionally, the current practices of commercial agriculture are significantly contributing to the problem by degrading the soil, using fossil fuels, adding microplastics to our food, etc., so I wanted to grow in a better direction.
I have been using the most sustainable farming practices available to me and hope to model a more holistic way of feeding our community.
This year I have been accepted into the Tufts New Entry Farming Incubator and will be growing on a new quarter acre of prime farmland.
