About Us
New Entry Sustainable Farming Project is an initiative of Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy that works locally, regionally, and across the country to strengthen local food systems by supporting new farmers. Founded in 1998, we’ve been proud to be part of the Beverly community since 2019 when we moved to our location at Moraine Farm.
Some of our offerings include farmer training courses across experience levels, new farmer technical assistance, to our Food Hub and CSA, and leading a national network of agricultural training programs. Learn more.
