Waltham Field Station Update
By John Dieckmann
The Waltham Fields Community Farm (WFCF) has been attempting to negotiate a lease for the continued use of the acreage at the former U Mass Field Station on Beaver Street. The Waltham City Council approved the lease on June 26. However, the conditions in the lease would have left the WCFC in a financially unsustainable condition, so WFCF is attempting to negotiate better terms. Unfortunately, there has been no movement from the city in response, leaving matters in limbo.
Meanwhile, WFCF has been operating its programs at a reduced scale. Stacey Daley, the executive director, expressed some optimism that matters would get resolved and the farm would be in operation next growing season. We will provide another update in next year’s March-April Newsletter.
