Natick Community Organic Farm — Local services in Natick

Generally, a nice place to visit with kids during a few events each season.

Their seedlings program, however - is getting less reliable each year (and more expensive at the same time). I used to get their seedlings, plant them and they were good, viable and hardened.

This year it wasn’t good: seedlings have barely protruded through the soil, some not viable (a few tomatoes, salad and dill didn’t survive) and definitely not hardened. I kept them indoors for 2 weeks taking out for a couple of hours each day to harden - I would expect that work done by the farm so we could pick seedlings ready for transplanting.

Even though the Farm was our go-to destination for seedlings for many years, next year we’ll look for other options.

My child has attended homeschooling group as well as summer camp here. We have been very happy with the hands on experience she gets daily. They have farm chores and learn how to be safe and responsible with the care of animals. I would say very kid friendly, small environment but it does the job in what we want our child to learn. I really LOVE the daily hands on experience even if it means I do lots of laundry 🧺😁😁. Teacher experience can vary. Kirstie is super sweet and she has addressed any of my concerns. Super easy to talk to always...
