Get to know Lexington Community Farm

LexFarm (Lexington Community Farm Coalition) began in May 2009 as a grassroots organization founded by neighbors concerned about the fate of the 7.9 acre Busa Farm upon its sale to the Town of Lexington. The town had initially chosen to use the land for soccer fields and affordable housing. But thanks to tremendous community involvement in Lexington and Arlington in support of LexFarm’s advocacy, in 2012, the Lexington Board of Selectmen decided most of the land would be dedicated to a community farm. The farm store offers fruit and vegetables grown on the property, as well as fruits, veggies, and other grocery items from local companies. The store is open year-round.
