FOR THE COMMUNITY 

This summer, join us at Common Ground for weekly open farm days and on-site farmer's markets.  You can also find us each week at CitySeed's Edgewood Park Farmer's Market.  Visit the CitySeed Web site for additional information on the market.
 
Summer Programs
Open Farm Day -- Every Saturday, 10:00 – 2:00

Visit Common Ground this summer to wander in the garden, taste herbs in our educational gardens, visit the animals, watch butterflies in the wildflower field, or take a self-guided hike on the Old Oak Nature Trail. Farm staff and Common Ground students will answer your questions and share the farm with you. Free for all ages.

 
On-Site Farm Market -- Every Wednesday, 2:30 – 5:00, Starting July 7th

This summer, student members of Common Ground's Green Jobs Corps will operate a weekly farmer's market, scheduled to coincide with pick up time for our summer camps. Pick up healthy seasonal produce, farm fresh eggs, and beautiful flowers, harvested that morning and grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. 

 
Community Programs, September-June  

Over the next year, Common Ground will present a diverse slate of public programs to celebrate the wonders of the farm and the forest. We hope you will join us here at our 20 acre haven on the edge of the city. Come participate in the life of the farm, enjoy the beauty of the New England landscape, and explore the science of the natural world. 

 
Beyond offering a chance to get your hands dirty, our programs reveal the deeper messages of the farm and forest. These places have stories to tell about the environmental challenges we face as a people. How will we reduce our ecological footprint in order to preserve the splendor and sustenance of nature here at home and across the globe? Practices modeled at Common Ground offer some suggestions and solutions. We hope you’ll come learn and take action with us.
