FOOD ACCESS: how we work
advocacy & public policy
We had the privilege of testifying at the Massachusetts State House with the Mass. Food System Collaborative on March 13, 2025, asking legislators to restore funding for HIP, the Healthy Incentives Program. This crucial program benefits both farmers and eaters and is a key tool in fighting food insecurity and keeping our local farm economy strong. Learn more here.
On June 3rd, we testified before the Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources at the Statehouse, joining colleagues from around the state including Ipswich River Watershed Association and others, advocating for better drought management policies. Read IRWA’s write-up here.
“Farms like ours invest in public health - community health - not just by growing and distributing nutritious food, but by using sustainable farming practices on our land. We know we are connected to our larger ecosystem through soils, air, wildlife habitat, and especially through the shared water system that we all depend on.”
12 months of food distribution: summer & Fall csa shares + winter soup share
“So very grateful to be a part of this community you have built! Thank you so much for making these farm shares accessible to those of us who want to be healthy but are struggling to make ends meet! This has been such a life changing thing for my family.”
partner power: a collaborative regional network
We provide the same high-quality fresh produce to and through our community partners. Through them, our farm’s fresh produce reaches low-income, unhoused, refugee, and other food-insecure neighbors in 18 cities and towns across the North Shore in many different creative ways: food pantries, mobile markets, prepared and delivered meals, and much more.
“So very grateful for the support Three Sisters provided our family during this really unexpected time in our life of being in a one income household with less income than previously feeding our children. You have helped relieve a really large stress (food shopping) in our life and we are so grateful. Look forward to the day when we can pay it forward for other families.”
