Overview
Certified Organic, no-till vegetable farm with an emphasis on Japanese varieties.
Assawaga Farm is a Certified Organic operation growing a diverse range of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruits, with a particular emphasis on Japanese varieties. Founded in 2016 on raw land in the quiet corner of Connecticut, the farm was built from the ground up by farmers Yoko Takemura and Alex Carpenter, who added a barn, greenhouse, and well before turning a former hayfield into productive growing ground. The one-acre farm is entirely hand-powered and no-till. Produce is available through a seasonal on-farm stand and at a farmers market in the Coolidge Corner neighborhood of Brookline, Massachusetts. The farm also accepts SNAP at its farmstand. Learn more on their About Page.
Assawaga Farm holds Certified Organic certification through Baystate Organic Certifiers. Its fields were used for hay for decades prior to the farm's founding, with no recorded application of chemicals going back as far as the farm can trace the land's history. The farm practices no-till growing, minimizing soil disturbance to protect the structure and the complex web of microorganisms, fungi, and earthworms that sustain soil health. Beyond meeting certification requirements, the farm works to minimize fossil fuel use and plastic, and avoids even organically approved pesticides. Perennial wildlife and pollinator habitats are maintained on the property. Fertility is built from within through cover crops, compost, vermicompost, extracts, and natural mulches, and the farm sources additional materials such as leaves from within its local area.
