It has been a long and winding road, but after an extensive, multi-year search, we are thrilled to announce the acquisition of 923 Barker Road in Pittsfield, paving the way for the launch of our much-anticipated Farm!

 

More than just a farm, the property will serve as Roots Rising’s long-awaited homebase, housing both offices and an education center. The farm will be a work site for our teens, a community hub, a green oasis, and a headquarters to amplify our legacy of food justice work.

 

We envision this teen-powered, community-centered farm to be a training ground for the next generation of food system and community changemakers. And we aim for the farm to be a source of resilience, inspiration and pride, both for the City of Pittsfield and beyond.
