Our Purpose
Our Mission: To revitalize our local food system by cultivating an informed and engaged food communityFarming Falmouth is a young, fast-growing organization that supports local agriculture and believes in bringing people closer to where and how their food is grown. With some of the best soils on Cape Cod, and miles of waterfront, our coastal town has the potential to produce a diversity of food and seafood, and do it in thoughtful, fair and sustainable ways. The more food we can grow locally-- on our farms, in our bays and estuaries, in schools, community gardens and backyards – the more we can lighten our environmental footprint and widen access to fresh food throughout the community.The founding members of Farming Falmouth served on the working group that advocated for the purchase of Tony Andrews Farm, saving it from development and establishing it as permanent farmland. It was a historic moment, honoring Falmouth’s heritage, but also pointing to the future. We believe there are new opportunities to work with farmers and the community and help Falmouth realize its food-producing potential.
