Description

Codman Community Farms' purpose is to teach and advance agricultural practices and to maintain rural beauty, while producing hay, meat, eggs and other farm products. Farming has always been a part of Lincoln's history and CCF, as one of the only remaining working farms in the area, is an important, living connection to three centuries of agricultural heritage. Practicing sustainable agriculture and operating out of an historic barn complex in the heart of Lincoln, CCF produces over 16,000 bales of hay. The hay comes from CCF managed acres throughout Lincoln that are privately owned, Town owned or part of a conservation trust. Because of its nonprofit status, CCF board of directors and our farm team can expend time and resources to renovate fields and pursue experimental and specialized agricultural programs, such as "no-till" methods of field crop production; activities which cannot offer immediate economic returns necessary for commercial farms in this region. Consistent with this philosophy, they have developed a significant minor and heritage breed livestock program. The goal is to make a valuable and unique contribution to the preservation of commercial production of these breeds. The breeding program includes: Randall Lineback and Devon cattle, Karakul and Jacob sheep, Tamworth pigs, Nubian goats, Royal Palm and Bourbon Red turkeys, Dominique, Araucana and many other varieties of chickens...
