Know Your Farmer?

​

​                       My name is

                       Sinikiwe

                       " Nikki "

                       Makarutsa. I

                       grew up in a

                       peasant

                       farming

                       environment

                       in the rurals

                       of Zimbabwe.

                       I was not

                       familiar with

                       the technique

                       of organic

                       farming until 2003, when I joined the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project in Lowell. This is where I learned the theory of organic farming and its luxuries. I began farming with the help of my husband Maxwell "Max" Makarutsa and my kids. So all my plants are organically grown by my family.

Community Supported  Agriculture

 

​

CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, is a way in which a community and a farmer can share a connection and a commitment with one another. Community members become shareholders in the farm, and get produce on a weekly basis.

​

​

Community members share in the risks and bounty of farming. They provide the farmer with a secure and supportive market. Member will pick up their produce once a week at Learning Experience  Day Care in Littleton, Ma or at 172 main st. in North Chelmsford. We also offer pick-ups at the following Farmer's markets:
