Lexington Community Farm

Worthen Road to Bridge School

Park at the Center Playground or along Worthen Rd. across from the High School playing fields. The conservation lands south of Worthen Rd. are accessed by two paths, navigable by stroller and tricycle. The western entrance is the start of a Fitness Path, with a boardwalk over wetlands marked by self-directed exercise stations. The second Worthen Rd. entrance, further east, is a paved bike path with some hills. Take the path to its end, then veer left across a picnic area to join the bike path. From here the bike path winds through the woods to the Old Reservoir (Old Res) and Bridge School.

Lexington Community Farm is a seven-acre working farm owned by the Town of Lexington and run by an independent member-supported non-profit organization (LexFarm). LexFarm grows produce using organic growing methods.

LexFarm runs education programs on the farm for children of all ages and adults in the spring, summer and fall. LexFarm also has a food access program, supplying fresh produce to area food pantries.

Vegetables and flowers are grown for CSA shareholders and are also available for purchase at their farm stand, open to all during the farming season. Organic eggs, cheeses, milk and meats and many pantry items are also available in the farm stand. Revenues from the farm stand support their education programs.
