Waltham Field Community Farms have played an integral role in our community by educating families on growing their own food; providing vegetables and other edibles to the Healthy Waltham organization which, in turn, educates children in the Waltham Public Schools; and, makes available garden fresh vegetables to low income families.  Currently there are concerns about the future of this land.  On February 13, 2019, a collective statement was issued by the tenants and stakeholders of this extremely important city resource:   

Waltham Mayor Jeannette McCarthy and members of the Waltham School Committee will host a fundraiser with proceeds to benefit the Waltham High School Music Department trip to Nashville, TN. A La Musica! - an evening of food, fund and musical festivities features a traditional spaghetti and meatball dinner served by the Mayor and School Committee members at the Waltham High School on March 4th. During the dinner a variety of musical selections will be performed by several WHS musical ensembles.

At their February 13, 2019 Board of Directors meeting, the MSBA voted the project into the schematic design of the project.
