Supporting a Nourished North Shore: Our Work
Since 2015, Nourishing the North Shore has been connecting the community to fresh, local produce, farms, and gardening resources. We invite you to join us in our effort to create a more inclusive and just local food system!
Increasing access to local Produce: VEGOUT
Our VEGOUT program makes it easier for individuals and families to access healthy, locally grown produce. Throughout the year we source a wide variety of in-season vegetables from Essex County farmers and deliver them directly to our food access partners, including food pantries, mobile markets and meal programs. All produce is free to guests. Click the link below to view a seasonal vegetable list.
Join the waitlist for 2025 Now! Farm SHARE
Our Farm SHARE program connects community members to local CSAs (community supported agriculture) at an affordable price. Participants choose from our list of farm partners and pick up a bag of freshly harvested vegetables from that location weekly, June – October. Learn more about eligibility at the link below.

Volunteer with Nourishing the North Shore!
Our volunteers make a significant impact on our ability to achieve our mission. We rely on volunteers to keep our vegetables moving, connect with the community through fun interactions like swapping recipes with families, and get their hands dirty with our farmers. We’re looking for individuals to help with the pickup and delivery of vegetables, assist at our mobile markets and much more.
