River Road Farm
Common Ground Worldwide operates a therapeutic community farm that provides uplifting and educational opportunities for local participants, particularly those in times of hardship or transition. The farm supplies fresh produce to its harvest program members, as well as to local food pantries and other nonprofits, while also empowering people to gain job experience, new skills, and meaningful work in a therapeutic outdoor setting.
River Road Farm is a first step toward our bigger vision of creating a full-fledged community farm and microhousing community of people who have lost their homes and are rebuilding their lives from the ground up, as well as those who wish to downsize and pursue a life of simplicity and service.
Please contact us to visit the farm, to sign up for a weekly subscription of fresh vegetables, or to learn more about getting involved!
Community Garden
Established by local community members in 2009 as a model for how to convert a lawn into a water-saving edible landscape, this garden provides an opportunity for people of all walks of life to work together and to gain skills in drought-tolerant landscaping and small-scale backyard food production.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the garden, regardless of previous experience, age, cultural background, language, etc. This is a place where meaningful connections and unexpected friendships often take root! We offer free tours and workshops to youth programs and other local groups, and provide a source of fresh produce for our volunteers and for local food pantries serving those in need.
The garden is open to the public on Monday afternoons 3 - 5:30 PM, occasional Saturdays, and by appointment. We invite you to come visit, have a look around, and get your hands dirty!
