Powered by Your Generosity
In this year’s Annual Appeal, we’re asking for your support to help ensure that the legacy of the Natick Community Organic Farm continues to grow. The daily work of the Farm, made possible by people like you.
Powered by Your Generosity
Generous gifts from our community members make possible everything we do at NCOF, from purchasing farm equipment, to creating new programs to extending discounted CSA shares to local seniors.
Some of the many ways your gifts make a difference to NCOF and the people we serve:
Sustains our robust educational programs for children, teens, and adults
Allows NCOF to explore and design new programming based on community interest
Enables the purchase of essential farm equipment, supplies, and eco-friendly products
Ensures fair compensation for our year-round and seasonal employees
Supports paid apprenticeships for teens
Funds scholarships for deserving community members
Provides discounted CSA shares for local seniors
Give to Our Greatest Needs
One of the most impactful ways to support NCOF is through unrestricted giving. Unrestricted gifts allow the Farm to respond quickly and appropriately to our most pressing needs, whether that’s repairing a tractor, updating our website, hiring additional staff, or adding more egg-laying hens to our brood.
Support Our Marathon Runner
Nick Zanussi (he/him) is a 37 year old Natick resident who is super stoked to be running his first marathon in Boston 2026 and to be supporting the Natick Community Organic Farm. He and his wife, Erika, work and live at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick with their two boys who are 10 and 8. At Walnut Hill, Nick teaches science, runs a dorm, is the director of the fitness center, and is a class dean.

Support Nick's Boston Marathon Run
In every community he has been a part of, he has promoted environmentalism and integrated sustainable gardening practices. When he moved to Natick, he was pumped to discover the Natick Community Organic Farm and has been a consumer of their products and visitor to the farm ever since. His children have enrolled in the summer farm programs and he and his family visit the farm regularly. While working at Walnut Hill, Nick has continued to build on the relationship between the school and the farm by having fundraisers for the farm, bringing students on guided tours, and coordinating the purchase of flower bouquets for the graduating seniors. He feels very connected to the values and mission of the farm and couldn’t see himself running in support of any other organization.
Nick is extremely grateful for this opportunity from the farm and for all the support from his family, doctor friends, friends, doctors, community, and particularly his wife Erika, who has provided him with immense encouragement and love through all of the difficult and rewarding times.
