Backyard Roots is an evolving group of 6 to 10 people collectively working the land of other people's backyards throughout Northampton, MA. Together, these separate plots function as a mini collective farm.

Brad

Our Bradford St. plot, Brad we like to call her, is carved out of a small meadow of a yard in the wonderful, hidden, railroad-adjacent section of Northampton off of . We first attacked this spot with a rototiller (ahh!) in May? of 2009. Here, weeds and vegetables live in harmony. In other words, it is a constant challenge. She wants to run free as a meadow again.
