good food grown here: common good farm, raymond, nebraska
Common Good Farm is a mom & pop family farm...small, sustainable, certified organic & Biodynamic. We’re located in southeast Nebraska, just 15 miles northwest of Lincoln, just north of Raymond. We’re committed to sustaining a family farm in Lancaster County to provide delicious, healthful food for our community & neighbors...to tend the soil, grow the food & love the land, & to create a healthful community. We grow over 45 different kinds of produce, annual & perennial herbs, veggie & herb plants in the springtime, as well as pastured pork, beef & eggs. The heartbeat of our farm is our CSA, offering seasonal shares for Summer Harvest & a Fall Harvest Share. We also vend at Old Cheney Farmer’s Market in Lincoln; find us there for the first half of the season. Eggs are available year-round at the farm & at Open Harvest in Lincoln. Open Harvest also carries our produce seasonally. Meat is butchered annually in late fall/early winter. We also sell wholesale to restaurants & grocers in Lincoln...hopefully at your favorite places!
But there's so much more...dig in deeper. Step forward to enjoy good food that will warm your spirit!
