In 2021, we purchased an additional eleven acres of raw, rolling land just east of our current farm site
knowing it would become a gathering and growing space with wild and shared places,
and room for orchards, animals, composting, and more.
We imagine Common Ground as a safe space for critical conversations that seed action.
We believe in the power of this community to join in to create a tomorrow better than today, right here, right now.

It is time to gather on Common Ground.

We’re able to accomplish a lot because we invite the community to join us in the effort.
After walking the land 100+ times to learn a bit about the life and living already happening there and after a year of research and watching from our Eco Team, we have formed a Common Ground committee dedicated to creating a Master Plan to guide our growth over the next many years.

In 2022, we received funding through the USDA’s Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production program
to build a wash/pack station, high tunnel, community gardens, and an incubator farm space.
This three-year foundational grant allows us to take the next steps in this project.
