Needham Community Farm Online Auction Begins March 7

The Needham Community Farm will hold its third annual online auction from March 7 through March 20 to raise funds for the organization, according to an announcement from farm leaders.

Items up for bid this year include gift cards to popular local eateries and shops, such as Whole Foods and Walnut Grille.

Proceeds from the auction allow the farm give back to the community, such as growing produce for the Needham Community Council Food Pantry, teaching Needham students about farming and agriculture, and offering programs for free to low-income residents.

For more information, visit the farm’s official website or browse items up for bid.
