Today more than ever we realize the value of fresh food to our community.
Partnering with Wagner Farm's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, FWF pledged funding for 5 baskets to “From Farm to Food Pantry”.
Delivered weekly to the Northfield Food Pantry by Farm staff, each basket is loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables grown and harvested at Historic Wagner Farm.
