The Mack Park Farm generates over 6,000 pounds of fresh, organically grown produce per season that is provided for free to the community through its biweekly farmers' markets and its partners at The Salem Pantry.
The Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources has recent provided funding for the farm to buy a walk-in cooler, supplies for a water-catchment system and shelving for its hoop house.
