Farm Operation: NACF leased its farm property to Simple Gifts Farm (SGF) for 18 years.  During this time Simple Gifts operated a successful community-focused organic CSA on the site.

Simple Gifts Farm is a partnership of Jeremy Barker-Plotkin and David Tepfer. Both Jeremy’s and David’s families live in houses adjacent to the farm and play important supportive roles. David’s partner Marcy Lowy is a veterinarian and Jeremy’s partner Audrey Barker-Plotkin is a forestry researcher at Harvard Forest. The CSA operation was highly successful and served roughly 300 households each season.  The farming operation was discontinued in 2024.  NACF is currently in the process of re-visioning what might be best for the land and the local community.
