Common Ground Farm is located on land leased from Stony Kill Environmental
Center.
Common Ground sponsors a diverse educational workshop series each
season, with activities for both adults and children. The farm workshops have
included classes on farming, herbs, cooking, pickling and canning, gardening and
natural crafts for children, and alternative energy. CGF participates in the
Green Teens Community Gardening project in partnership with Cornell Cooperative
Extension for summer youth education. Common Ground provides assistance for low
income members of the community to participate in the CSA through our Family
Wellness program and Mobile Market. Common Ground donates fresh surplus produce
each week to a local food pantry in Beacon, NY.
The farm participates in the
local Beacon Farmer's Market, held each Sunday from 10am-2pm from June through
October, to help improve access to fresh, healthy food. Farmer's Market
Nutrition Program coupons are accepted at the market.
