our farm & education center
After a two year land search, in February 2024 Roots Rising acquired a 6.5-acre parcel of land at 923 Barker Road in Pittsfield.
This space will serve as more than just a farm: it will be the heart of our operations, our home base. It is where we will nurture the next generation of food system changemakers, and where we will welcome the community to connect to the land, to grow food, and to learn alongside us.
Together, we can create a future where food justice, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship thrive. Read our plan below.
