Belmont Acres Farm, LLC

Located in the Richardson Farm Historic District in Belmont, Massachusetts, the farm has been a local staple for over 10 years. Run by Mike and Hermik Chase, who both have extensive backgrounds in public health and environmental biology, the farm is a family endeavor with their daughter actively participating in daily operations. Known for their commitment to healthy food and community engagement, the farm has built strong relationships with local organizations, businesses, and schools.

Adhering to organic methods without being organically certified, the farm emphasizes disease-resistant cultivars and integrates technology responsibly. They believe in moving beyond conventional and organic definitions by fostering a direct connection between farmers and consumers. Their approach to sustainable agriculture is integrated, focusing on being dedicated custodians of the land and the life it supports.

The farm is actively involved in community building, working with local school systems and encouraging community participation. They offer detailed tours, provide recipes, and have a strong presence in local markets. The farm's CSA program is open to new members, and they also sell seedlings of some crops in May.
