Brewster Street Farm - Journey's End Refugee Agricultural Program

The farm is owned and operated by the Green Shoots for New Americans program, a Refugee Agricultural Program with Journey's End Refugee Services.

The Brewster Street Farm is an urban farm run by Green Shoots for New Americans, a program of refugee farmers through Journey's End that fosters and promotes food sovereignty, agricultural business planning, and marketing skills. The purpose of the program is to support refugee farmers in urban farming and food sovereignty by providing technical assistance, education, and necessary supplies in ord

er to enhance their farming skills, English skills, business and marketing techniques, increase their income, and provide for healthy eating habits. By promoting food sovereignty through urban farming, we aim to give food system autonomy to the farmers while giving back to the community that the farm is located in. We are hopeful to create partnerships that will assist in the sustainability of this program. We are happy to accept donations in terms of land, farm tools and supplies, money, and more! All donations are tax deductible and will be used help the farmers become independent.

This Spring, the farm was awarded a grant to help create an area that could be used by the community to enjoy our urban green spaces. We wanted to focus on native plants! Several months and a lot of hard work later, we have created a native plant garden with a nice sitting area! Thanks to our agriculture students and volunteers, we have revitalized an overgrown, unusable area already in use by pollinators. The native plants we chose are perennials, and will come back every year once established. If you are interested in seeing the garden in real time, swing by the farm and check us out! Swipe through the photos to see the before and after!
