Mill City Grows Farm Share Program

2025-2026 Winter Farm Share season runs November 6, 2025 – February 6, 2026

What is a Farm Share?

When you join a Farm Share Program, you purchase a “share” — or portion — of a farmer’s crops direct from the farmer in advance. Your Farm Share purchase provides up-front financial support to the farmer to purchase seeds and any supplies that are needed to ensure a good harvest. In return, you are guaranteed a share of the farmer’s bountiful harvest!

A Mill City Grows Farm Share is a mix of our own Lowell-grown crops and crops grown by our local partner farms and farmers. We also include locally made pantry goods such as grains, sauces, and relishes. As a Farm Share participant, you’re supporting our non-profit work in Lowell, local agriculture and food systems, and all the small family farms that work year-round to provide nutritious, diverse crops to our communities!

How do I pay for my Farm Share?

You can easily sign up online using your credit card. Your payment must be made in full before receiving your Farm Share.

Can I use my SNAP/EBT to pay for my Farm Share?

Yes you can! Get money back on your EBT card each month when you sign up to receive a Mill City Grows Farm Share. To learn more, please email James Tierney at James[at]millcitygrows[dot]org or call James at 508-251-9044.
