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.
Our garden has really taken off. It is pretty impressive to see a garden that last year really struggled, come into its own: whether through our experience, both in gardening and working together, the benefit of what happens to soil in its second year of gardening, or the better weather What I am most impressed by (so far) are the onions, which barely grew last year, and this year are strong and already quite large.
