Our Team

Stewards

Food forest stewards are the foundation of the work we do. They’re the caretakers, the growers, the builders, the protectors, and the legacy of each of our food forest sites. Together, we are creating a more equitable, climate resilient Boston.

To meet each stewardship team and to learn more about their unique contributions to BFFC’s work across Boston, please visit our parks page.
