Established in 1997, River Road offers 55 community garden plots, a summer CSA share program and a winter CSA share program offering produce good for canning, freezing, and storing over winter. A green oasis just off Russell Street, River Road bustles in the spring, summer and fall with farmers, volunteers, community gardeners, CSA members, and a flock of chickens. The farm produces 4,000 pounds of produce each year for the Poverello Center. Through the Volunteer for Veggies Program, over 150 people volunteer at the farm, taking home vegetables for their labors.
