Common Good City Farm combats food insecurity and nurtures the health and well-being of its community, addressing both immediate needs and long-term systemic injustices. The Pay-What-You-Can Farm Stand ensures that all visitors (some 300 families a year) receive fresh fruits and vegetables regardless of their ability to pay. Launched in 2025, the Urban Orchard program builds community knowledge of orchards and forestry while increasing productivity and expanding access to its products through the Farm Stand; last year’s pilot enrolled 25 students. At its 24/7 Community Fridge and Pantry in the Kelly Miller housing community, residents decide how it is managed and what items they need most, including free food, dry goods, household items, diapers, and feminine hygiene products. A teen-led summer program and additional farm-based education make the farm a welcoming place where neighbors come together.
