Service Garden Highlights
415 lbs of fresh produce have been donated this year!
Join us in the Service Garden this week!
Hi Service Guard-ners, 

This past week, we made a good start towards meeting our 2025 goal of 7500 pounds of produce as we harvested radishes and lettuce, but we need more help harvesting! Harvesting takes place Monday mornings 8-11am.

In the upcoming week, we will be planting sweet potatoes and green beans. We will also be trellising, weeding, and doing a small amount of bed preparation.
 
Make sure you dress for the weather (layers are good) and bring 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.

Farmer Tip:

    Start scouting for pests - they are here! Look out for flea beetles and potato beetles; especially check your eggplant.  Read this article "Insect Management in the Home Vegetable Garden" from the Umass Extension for detailed information on controlling pests in the garden.
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?
The Service Garden is a quarter-acre farm field on the historic Tony Andrews Farm owned by the town of Falmouth.  It is Sub-leased by the generous Geoff Andrews and run by the Non-Profit Farming Falmouth, Inc. The farm field is tended by Farming Falmouth's farm manager and community volunteers. All the food grown is being donated to the Falmouth Service Center and the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center. We exceeded last year's goal and donated over 5,000 lbs of fresh food, so this year we have increased our fields and our goal for 2025 is 7500 lbs! 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!
