Many Hands Farm Corps/ Amherst Mobile Market

Many Hands Farm Corps is a small Community Supported Agricultural (CSA) farm that has a joint venture where members are shareholders and farmers receive capital before the season starts. This enables them to be in the field during the growing season instead of worrying about selling produce.

Many Hands Farm Corps has collaborated with the Pelham Elementary School to create and maintain a school garden, train future farmers and farm managers, and work towards address the shortage of labor on small farms. Many Hands’ four mobile markets circulate in low income communities with limited access to high quality, affordable and nutritious food.
