Farming in Belmont Today

Please join us on Tuesday, September 22nd at 7 pm in the Assembly Room at the Belmont Public Library for a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities faced by Belmont's last working farm and other farms around the state - and what you can do to promote and raise local food. The discussion includes Nathan L'Étoile, Assistant Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, Henry Ogilby, whose family has owned Richardson Farm, aka Sergi Farms, since the 1600s, Sal Sergi, whose family has farmed the land at Sergi Farms since the 1940s, and Joan Teebagy, who keeps bees at Sergi Farms and raises vegetables and chickens in her backyard.
