Team

The Eastie Farm family is anyone and everyone who has stopped by to shovel mulch, plant cilantro, make fresh-pressed cider, or just ask questions! You may meet our staff at the gardens when you stop in, or keep in touch by text or email so we can let you know about our programs. Behind the scenes, we are also supported by our board of directors – East Boston community members working hard to make all of this possible, and having fun doing it!
Here you will meet our staff and our board!
