DONATE TO THE FARM
Each donation to Lachat is a gift to the community and future generation of visitors. Donations assist us to maintain the farm, make improvements which benefit the community and provide programming that is engaging and diverse. Although we are a town property, we work to be self-sufficient and are not currently maintained using taxpayer funding. Thank you for your contribution which enables us to continue providing the community with classes, recreation and social opportunities for all ages!

Volunteer
Get Involved!
Volunteering at Lachat Town Farm is a wonderful way to make friends, build a sense of community, and enjoy time on the stunning property. Because Lachat Town Farm relies almost entirely on volunteers for everything from events, planning, marketing, gardening, animal care, to maintenance and more, there is always something to do! Our volunteer coordinator sends out emails with volunteer opportunities as they arise.
We are very interested in people that can help with:
- Land Steward: Help us keep out grounds free of litter by walking the land weekly and collecting anything left behind. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the meadow and upper fields, while helping us make sure the land is as it should be.
- Giving Garden: Looking for experienced gardeners to help with the Giving Garden on a weekly basis, 2-3 hours. The Lachat Giving Garden grows organic produce for the local food pantry.
- General Opportunities: Just let us know what you are interested in!
Please click here to fill out our volunteer form (with your contact information and interests) and we will be in touch!

Wish List
Lachat is always thankful for the monetary donations which help keep us operating successfully as a beloved space for the community. With that said, sometimes our supporters like to know exactly what their gift provides. To that end, we have provided a wishlist which enables us to ask for specific items that help maintain the property and provide material support for our programming. Thank you for taking a look at our wishlist to see if there is something that catches your eye or perhaps consider choosing something to give on behalf of a loved one.
In Memory
In Memory
In memory of Brian Gordon
We are very sorry to have lost a very good friend in Brian Gordon. He loved the Lachat Town Farm and the community spirit being engendered here. Brian, a Weston former Selectman, passed away on November 18, 2017.
Thank you for your donations to Lachat Town Farm in Brian's name which will be used to continue the good work we do on the Farm. May he rest in peace.
In memory of Peter Shih
Lachat Town Farm is very sorry to have lost a very good friend in Peter Shih. He loved the Farm and the community spirit being engendered here, always willing to roll his sleeves up to help out wherever needed. He could be spotted riding the tractor around the farm with a big smile. We will miss seeing him working tirelessly side-by-side with Ellen, one of our founding Commission Members.
Thank you for your donations to Lachat Town Farm in Peter's name which will be used to continue the good work we do on the Farm. May he rest in peace.
