The Urban Farming Institute of Boston (UFI) along with staff, board and the community celebrated the recent purchase of the historic Fowler Clark Epstein Farm in the heart of Mattapan.
“The farm is home to us and has become a special center for our farmers and our neighbors,” said President & CEO, Pat Spence. “Fresh food is vital to a healthy community and from this place we share our bounty and teach the principles of cultivation and growth. The future of this historic place is bright because so many people gave selflessly to do more than we’d have been able to do by ourselves,” said Spence.

“We are empowering our community and helping feed it at the same time.”
