Kids Shop the Farmers' Market!

Meet the TEENY GREENY—a new Common Ground Farm program giving young shoppers their own farmers’ market money!

Throughout October & November, kids at the Beacon and Newburgh Farmers’ Markets can stop by the market manager tent to get two $2 Teeny Greenies to spend with market vendors, plus a fun Teeny Greeny Booklet with activities about food, nutrition, and financial literacy.

What will they choose? 🍎🥕🍪 $4 in Teeny Greenies can buy a kid-sized cookie, a hot dog on a stick, an arepa, a bao, a bundle of lavender, or a limeade. Or your child can save up and purchase something bigger.

Both markets will also have Tasting Stations, where kids and grown-ups can sample something new and get a sticker!

Come to the market, let the kids make some choices of their own, and have a little fun while you’re there.

Beacon Farmers’ Market — Sundays, 10am–2pm
Newburgh Farmers’ Market — Saturdays, 10am–3pm
October & November

This program is made possible with generous support from Hudson Valley Credit Union. 💚

5 days left to help us reach our $25,000 summer goal! 🥕

"I loved being in the field each week, friendly interactions with farm staff, enjoying delicious organic vegetables and flowers in our home." -U-Pick Member

We're growing more than vegetables in our fields. We're creating opportunities for families to connect with the land, teaching children how food grows, making fresh food more accessible, and building a stronger local food system.

Help us reach our goal with a gift of any amount and be part of the community that makes this work possible. https://commongroundfarm.networkforgood.com/projects/303921-2026-summer-fundraiser 💚

What makes a place feel like common ground?

Maybe it is standing in a field full of flowers in a riot of colors, touched by fluttering butterflies and buzzing bees.

A farm where children can pop cherry tomatoes straight into their mouths and discover their sun-warmed taste.

A farmers' market where neighbors run into each other and catch up every week.

A market tent where you learn the name of the person who grew your dinner with their hands.

We see these moments all the time. They are small, but they matter.

If you've found some common ground with us, please consider supporting Common Ground Farm.
