As 2024 comes to a close we want to celebrate the folks that drive our mission. This work and any of our success happens due to so many community members, staff, and partners who lay the groundwork and put in the time.

We asked our staff the question: What does doing this work mean to you now?

Skye, Market Manager:
“I was intentional in choosing to work in the food/environmental (justice) realm some years ago. I pivoted into this work because I felt called to it; called into using food and nature as a medium for healing and loving. I become more and more aligned with this intention each day I do this work, which means I’m always healing and loving myself and my community. It feels very much exactly where I’m supposed to be!”

Whether you’re just finding out about Common Good City Farm or have been supporting us over the past 16 years, your participation and support helps make progress possible. Our programs, events, and fresh food distribution wouldn’t be possible without a strong team and supportive community.

Join us in celebrating the folks doing the groundwork! 🥳

Common Good City Farm, and community partners are launching a community pantry at LeDroit Park on Friday, November 22 alongside our annual Thanksfest food giveaway.

The pantry will operate on a donation basis, where anyone can contribute food and items, and those in need can freely take what’s available.

We’re seeking funds to stock the pantry, and to support the Thanksfest and HolidayFest which provide food to our community. With your support, we can Les this vital resource running through the off seasons and beyond. Donations will directly fund these efforts.
