The Carrot Project is a farming-focused organization based in Boston, Massachusetts, that works to strengthen the local farm and food system through advisory services, education, advocacy, and research. Its mission centers on increasing the number and racial diversity of successful farms and agricultural businesses in New England, while supporting environmental and social well-being and economic resilience. The organization targets farmers and related agricultural enterprises, addressing barriers such as financial security, access to farmland, and the capacity to withstand major disruptions, with the aim of sustaining these enterprises over the long term. As a small team operating within the farming sector, it positions itself as a facilitator of equitable growth and resilience in the regional agricultural economy, emphasizing durable relationships with the communities it serves. A notable development in its recent activity is involvement in a USDA NIFA-supported initiative that provided a substantial grant to bolster business technical assistance and related activities for underserved producers and regional collaboration.
