We are dedicated to bringing fresh, delicious food to local communities.

Moody Root Farm is run by Hannah Alden, who immediately fell in love with the land she now stewards in the spring of 2022. After working as the crew lead of an organic vegetable CSA and market farm near Madison for just over three seasons, Hannah and her husband, Tyler, went searching for a piece of land to call their own. They had their sights set on the north central part of the state and landed in Dorchester, between Medford and Abbotsford.

After purchasing the seven-acre farm property, Hannah and Tyler planted a cover crop in the summer of '22 to help start the rebuild of the tillable field’s soil. Hannah started produce production in 2023 on about two and a half acres, with another section in cover crop. In addition, there is now a permanent half-acre space around the borders of the farm planted as a dedicated pollinator habitat, with native plants and flowers for insects and other vital creatures to explore. While not yet certified organic, it’s possible Hannah may pursue organic certification in the future.

In 2025, Hannah will turn most of her focus toward improving and expanding the farm’s CSA program. Additionally, plans are in the works to get the farm’s products to folks in retail spaces. Moody Root Farm will also return to the Medford Farmers Market with vegetables, herbs and plant starts (available in the spring), although attendance will be more occasional than in years past. Hannah hopes to also continue working with local food access programs to assure everyone has fresh produce available to them.

Hannah looks forward to another season of to getting to know local eaters, stewarding her land and immersing herself in area communities.
