Crown & Roots is a small-scale, market-style farm that is owned and operated by Nick Rozowsky and Abbey Murphy. They specialize in sustainably grown vegetables and have more recently adopted specialty-cut flowers into their mix. Before starting Crown & Roots in 2019, Nick had extensive experience in the restaurant industry, which give him some insight into the food distribution system. When they started with New Entry, however, they found a lot of support in the community. “The people right across from our plot at New Entry, they helped a lot. We bounced ideas off each other all the time, figured out what mistakes each other was making, and came up with solutions together. We wouldn’t have been able to just rent some land and start ourselves.”

Crown & Roots Farm is dedicated to growing fresh produce for optimum taste. Our crops are carefully harvested at the ideal time to produce the ideal taste and quality. Growing for taste, in turn, means growing for better soil creating a sustainable farming system. We believe in practicing regenerative farming with no use of harmful chemicals in our fields and greenhouse ever.

We do what we do to help shape food culture in Massachusetts. Our hope as a small farm is that the fresh delicious farm-to-table dishes in restaurants can inspire customers to start purchasing directly from farms and farmers markets for their own meals at home. Food culture starts with restaurants and chefs and end up trickling down into our home kitchens.
