Join us in the Service Garden this week!
Hi Service Guard-ners, 

Today is the day! We are so excited to be expanding the Service Garden with a new 50'x50' field at The Patch in our Growing Together Breaking Ground. Feel free to stop by and join in the dig, or join us for a shift below!

Later this week, we will continue pruning and tying up the tomatoes. We will also be mulching the walkways where the mulch has decomposed. The tomatoes have started to ripen, so we could use a large crew on Monday to help harvest. The Friday volunteer shift will be moving to The Patch, where we will be doing bed prep and planting. The Tuesday and Wednesday shifts are being shortened due to the heat and will be cut at 12 PM.  
 
Make sure you dress for the weather (layers are good) and bring a hat, gloves, water, and any questions you have. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Come help in the garden for an hour or a day, without you, this would not have been possible! 
Please help us plan by signing up.

if you want a few bigger tomatoes, then thin them out so there aren’t as many in each cluster. Make sure that you support big fruit so it can ripen on the vine as long as possible for maximum flavor and vitamins
Gratitude to our team, volunteers, and community partnerships that make the Service Garden possible!
Together we are growing a better future!

What is the Service Garden?
What Is The Service Garden?

The Service Garden started as a quarter-acre farm field on the historic Tony Andrews Farm owned by the town of Falmouth. It is sub-leased from the generous Geoff Andrews and run by the Nonprofit Farming Falmouth Inc. We extended in 2025 to The Patch with a new 50’x50’ field built less than a month after closing.  The farm fields are tended by Farming Falmouth's farm manager and community volunteers. All the food grown at the Service Garden is being donated to the Falmouth Service Center and the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center. The garden is a learning classroom focused on organic no-till, regenerative agriculture practices.

Service Garden History

  • In 2023 we started a  Service Garden on the Tony Andrews Farm. In our first year, on a 1/16th acre test plot, we grew over 1400 lbs of produce. All the food was donated to the Falmouth Service Center in 2023.

  • In 2024 we quadrupled the size of the garden and expanded our donations to include both the Falmouth Service Center and the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center. We are reaching our donation goal of 5,000 lbs with the help of our dedicated volunteers.

  • 2025 plans to keep expanding!
