Solar power for Frogfoot Farm

Our friends at the Marion Institute recently recently got some good news from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources: a grant of more than $135,000 to build a solar array at Frogfoot Farm.
Located on land allocated by the A.D. Makepeace Company on the Plymouth-Wareham town line, Frogfoot Farm harvested nearly 13,000 pounds of fresh produce during its first full growing season in 2025—the equivalent of an incredible 120,000 servings of nutrient-dense, culturally relevant food distributed to neighbors experiencing food insecurity across Southeastern MA.
Because of its remote location, conventional power from the grid was not possible at Frogfoot Farm.
