At The Salem Pantry, we pride ourselves in providing our guests with fresh, healthy food. This is made possible through partnerships that bridge the gap between local farms and the food-insecure families who seek support through our services.

Here are the organizations working with us to nourish our community.

Mack Park Food Farm

 

 

Mack Park Food Farm is a community-based farm managed by the City of Salem. Volunteers maintain, harvest, and deliver the locally grown produce to the pantry every week during the growing season.

New Entry Sustainable Farming Project

New Entry Sustainable Farming Project is an initiative of Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy which is focused on training new farmers to produce food that is accessible to all. They make weekly deliveries to The Salem Pantry from their farm in Beverly, MA.

Boston Area Gleaners

Boston Area Gleaners is an organization focused on bridging food distribution gaps, reducing food waste, and supporting food insecure families. The Gleaners support The Salem Pantry by harvesting and packing surplus food from their farm in Groton, MA and various farms across Massachusetts.

Salem YMCA Green Space

The Salem YMCA operates a small farm in the Point Neighborhood of Salem, working with local youth and community members to harvest and deliver the food directly to The Market.

Beverly Farms Garden

Beverly Farms Garden is owned and operated by Beverly resident John Fallon. Fallon’s unique farm is located on a traffic island in Beverly, MA and donates all its produce to The Salem Pantry and other local food pantries.

The Food Project

Sharing our belief in accessible healthy food, The Food Project operates over 70 acres of farmland throughout Northeast Massachusetts. The food is distributed through SNAP/HIP accessible farmer’s markets, neighborhood stores, The Salem Pantry and other hunger relief organizations.

Newhall Fields Community Farms

Newhall Fields works to enhance food security by growing high quality affordable food in Peabody, MA. The Salem Pantry works with Newhall Fields to ensure this food is accessible to those who need it on the North Shore.
