Nuestras Raices and Lutheran Social Services offer assistance to some
of Massachusetts’ newest farmers. These programs have been such a
success that we are in need of more land. We are seeking a long-term
lease for up to ten acres of vegetable production with irrigation
potential within 20 minutes of Holyoke and West Springfield. Storage
structures, greenhouse and tractor use/hire desired. The site(s) will
likely host a variety of cultures and operations ranging from ¼ acre
to 5 acres in size. Opportunity to mentor or lease to a single new
grower if preferred.
If you are a landowner interested in working with diverse cultures and
supporting new growers, we look forward to hearing from you. Contact
