What they do
Codman Community Farms is a 53-year-old community farm at 58 Codman Road in Lincoln, MA — Boston metro inner-ring suburb. Founded 1973. Tagline: “Creating community through food & farming since 1973.”
Integrated operations:
- Livestock — laying hens, broiler chickens, turkeys, pigs, beef cattle
- Flower and market gardens for the farm’s own retail
- Community gardens — neighbor-tended plots on farm land
- Farm store and kitchen — retailing the farm’s own production
- Educational programs and farm tours
- Thursday meals program — community meals from the farm kitchen
Stated practice: “[[regenerative-agriculture|regenerative farming]] methods that build diverse ecosystems and healthy soil.”
Why it’s listed
53 years of continuous community-farm operation in the Boston metro inner-ring is remarkable — land in Lincoln has been development pressure as Boston’s tech/biotech economy expanded west, and Codman’s continued working-farm status is a piece of how Lincoln has held back that conversion. The combination of regenerative practice + diversified livestock + community gardens + Thursday meals + educational programs is the substantive case: the farm is a working production operation AND a community-anchor institution at the same time.
Bioregional fit
Lincoln is in Middlesex County, MA — Boston’s inner-ring suburbs, [[greater-boston]] bioregion.
