“Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.”

— Wendell Berry, A Place on Earth

We believe children learn in powerful ways when they can get their hands in the soil, watch a seed become a plant, and experience where their food comes from.

Farm-based education gives children the chance to be curious, ask questions, work together, and build a relationship with the land. Whether they’re planting in the garden, harvesting vegetables, exploring the fields, or saving sunflower seeds, these experiences help children understand that they are part of a larger community—and that their actions have meaning.

This summer, we’re raising $25,000 to support our food access and community programs, including farm-based education. Your gift helps make these experiences possible for children in our community.

At Common Ground Farm, we’re committed to fresh food access for everyone in our community—including our 72 BackPack recipients.

This past year, BackPack recipients took home a mix of beautiful produce grown at Common Ground and by other area farms, including butternut squash, cabbage, onions, garlic, carrots, apples, potatoes, broccoli rabe, strawberries, and lettuce.

An elementary school social worker shared with us:

“The families have shared that they truly appreciate it and look forward to it weekly—this has been the best year yet!”

Fresh food access is an important part of how we nourish our community. Your support helps make this possible.

Join us in our summer fundraiser and help us reach our $25,000 goal.

"Our farmers are cultivating much more than vegetables—they’re cultivating community. Their dedication, compassion, and willingness to keep learning make them exceptional farmers and inspiring leaders. Supporting Common Ground means investing in people who are growing a healthier, more connected Hudson Valley."

-Common Ground Farm Mentor

This summer, we're raising $25,000 to support our food access and community programs. Every gift helps our farmers continue growing food, caring for the land, and making fresh, locally grown food more accessible throughout our community.

Last week at Farm Camp we had so much fun making terrariums, boats, rivers, and catching frogs! Our campers kept cool playing water games and made pickles from cucumbers we picked from the fields! We wrapped up our week with a buffet of freshly made salads, including zucchini carpaccios, cucumber salad, apple slaw, fruit salad, and strawberry lemonade!

We have limited space available if you would like to add a week of camp to your summer! Visit https://www.commongroundfarm.org/camp-2026. 🥕

Farm to School Update!

This past week we concluded our spring Farm to School programming for the school year! This spring, many students visited the farm, harvested chives, and observed lettuce growing in our fields. Then they made a spring salad featuring these items. We always ask students if they tried the dish and if they liked it, and this one was overwhelmingly positive!

Our educational programming is made meaningful through access. Kids need to experience fresh food--not just at the farm--but also in the cafeteria and at home. Last Friday, we delivered two heads of Common Ground lettuce and a quart of strawberries from our friends at Nightingale Farm to each of our 70 BackPack recipients. This past Monday, Common Ground delivered lettuce to all six schools in the Beacon City School District--we heard that it was served as a Caesar Salad and was enjoyed by everyone!

Special thanks to our friends at Land to Learn, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the Beacon City School District who helped bring all of this together! 💚
