The first annual Fall Festival and Fundraiser, held on Saturday, October 20th, 2007, was a great success! We raffled off awesome stuff like gift certificates to Hamersley's Bistro, Les Zygomates, Rialto, Lionette's Market, and Concord Provisions, plus a book of essays edited by Vandana Shiva, some beautiful framed photos of the farm, and a wool hat knitted by our blogger. The weather was beautiful. Pumpkins were hunted, gourds and faces were painted, Blue Heron T-shirts were worn, great music was played, and kids had lots of fun. And we raised lots of money toward our irrigation system! Check out the blog for some great photos!
Our vegetables are being served at several of the area's finest restaurants, including Hamersley's Bistro, Rialto, B&G Oysters, Plum Produce (right across the street from B&G Oysters), Lionette's Market, Les Zygomates Wine Bar & Bistro, Sorriso Trattoria, Rustic Kitchen (Boston), and Ten Tables. These restaurants and shops are all wonderful and highly recommended. If you are a chef in Cambridge/South End/Downtown/Jamaica Plain and you'd like to feature fine local organic vegetables, please contact the farmer! Contact info is at the bottom of the page.

| The mission of Blue Heron Organic Farm is to increase the availability of locally produced food and to raise awareness about ecologically sound farming practices. Through selling produce from one of the few remaining organic farm stands in the area, offering a pick-your-own flower and herb garden (as well as a small PYO vegetable garden, raspberries, and pumpkins in the fall), guiding volunteers, creating a healthy and fun environment for children and establishing regular community events, Blue Heron Organic Farm aims to promote a deeper sense of community among the residents of Lincoln. Through supplying Boston area restaurants with local Certified Organic produce and donating what we do not sell to soup kitchens and shelters, we involve the surrounding communities as well.
