Connection Changes How Kids Eat

Over the years, we've heard countless stories of children who refuse vegetables at home but happily snack on peas, cherry tomatoes, and even kale while walking through the fields.

When kids connect their senses to food growing around them, they almost can't help but eat the rainbow. They pick green beans, smell herbs, search for caterpillars, help carry the harvest, and contribute to the meals their families share together.

These experiences do more than encourage healthy eating. They help children build a relationship with food, the land, and the changing seasons. They show kids that they are capable, that their contributions matter, and that they can play an important role in caring for themselves, their families, and their community.

Summer U-Pick begins June 10. Come explore the farm together. https://www.commongroundfarm.org/csa 🫑🧅🥕🍅🍆

Come Be Part of Something Beautiful!

There is something special about seeing familiar faces in the fields each week.

The ritual of harvesting together, sharing recipes, watching children explore the farm, and hauling home a bounty to share with loved ones is what makes U-Pick unique.

Just like plants, people thrive when they are rooted in place, connected to the seasons, and nourished by relationships. That's the kind of community we're growing here.

Summer U-Pick starts June 10. We'd love to see you in the fields. https://www.commongroundfarm.org/csa

A U-Pick Share at Common Ground is MORE than a CSA.

It is a way to nourish your family, build community, and be part of a stronger local food system. Each week, members gather in our fields to harvest beautiful produce, connect with neighbors, and experience the joy of eating with the seasons.

Your membership supports local agriculture and helps advance our food justice mission, expanding access to fresh, local food throughout our community.

Summer U-Pick begins June 10. Join us for a season of abundance, connection, and impact. Sign up now: https://www.commongroundfarm.org/csa 🥕

Farmer update: It’s been a productive and busy planting week on the farm. We hand transplanted about 800 field tomato plants and the first succession of flowers for both U-Pick and market. We’ll wrap up the week with our first harvest of Little Gem lettuce heads, headed fresh to the Beacon Farmers' Market this Sunday. You won’t want to miss these crisp little cuties—they’re one of our favorite signs that the season is truly underway!
