On Monday June 14, Russ Cohen [click here for his website], one of the region's foremost wild edible plant experts, led the 10th annual wild edible plant walk on the farm. Thanks for coming!
Our vegetables are served at 10 of the area's finest restaurants and local businesses, including Hamersley's Bistro, Rialto, Nourish, and others. If you are a chef in Cambridge/South End/Downtown/Jamaica Plain and you'd like to feature fine local organic vegetables, please contact the farmer! Contact info is at the bottom of the page.
Check out this awesome video featuring the farm and one of our favorite customers, Gordon Hamersley of Hamersley's Bistro!
We have successfully completed our well for an irrigation system thanks to all your donations. We have also put up a new greenhouse to help us with our transplants and plant sale, and to help with season extension in coming years. We raised the money for this at our rainy fundraiser last year. The rest of the funds from the fundraiser went to covering the loss from the tomato blight. This fall we will have a tenth anniversary celebration and fundraiser to complete our dreams of making the farm more sustainable and inviting. We have redone the driveway so that any vehicle can get in without getting stuck. We are fixing the floor of the farm stand and putting up new signs to celebrate our tenth year. Thank you for all your support and donations over the years! We will contiune to bring fresh local organic food to the community.

The mission of Blue Heron Organic Farm is to increase the availability of locally produced food and to raise awareness about ecologically sound farming practices. Through selling produce from one of the few remaining organic farm stands in the area, offering a pick-your-own flower and herb garden (as well as a small PYO vegetable garden, raspberries, and pumpkins in the fall), guiding volunteers, creating a healthy and fun environment for children and establishing regular community events, Blue Heron Organic Farm aims to promote a deeper sense of community among the residents of Lincoln. Through supplying Boston area restaurants with local Certified Organic produce and donating what we do not sell to soup kitchens and shelters, we involve the surrounding communities as well.
