good food grown well   season 25!

common good farm
raymond, ne

Common Good Farm is looking towards our 25th season of growing good food through good farming in Lancaster County, Nebraska! We’re a mom & pop farm...food is grown from seed to harvest by Evrett Lunquist & Ruth Chantry.  Our farm is located just 1.5 miles north of Raymond, Nebraska. Farming in Southeast Nebraska since 1996, we are a certified organic & certified Biodynamic®/Demeter farm – one of about 150 Demeter-certified Biodynamic farms in the United States. In some ways, the certifications are just a reflection of our striving to grow the highest quality produce, eggs & meat through soil vitality & regeneration & conscientious farming practices. We use Biodynamic & organic seeds as available, focus on open-pollinated & heirloom varieties & limit our use of hybrids.

Our impulse for farming Biodynamically comes from our experience with observing plants as living things, not merely as passive recipients of soil-based nutrients. With Biodynamics, farming is about creating a whole farm as a vibrant entity through the farmers’ impulses. Biodynamics & sustainable farming are exciting & creative endeavors...directed but not prescriptive.


We grow over 45 different kinds of produce -- 4 acres of veggies & herbs. We also offer an organic plant sale each Spring-into-Summer, raise certified organic pastured pork and 100% grass-fed/grazed beef & a pasture-based laying flock for gorgeous certified organic eggs.

We feel called to grow good food, pure & simple...for people we know or come to know. We steward the earth through our work, growing the most delicious, nutritious foods we can...truly good food grown well! As stewards & through our farming practices, we preserve & create wildlife habitats, enliven plant & animal communities, as well as continue to create a livelihood on  our small diversified family farm.

After a change in 2020 from our long-standing traditional CSA to a FARM MEMBERSHIP, we're planning the same opportunity for 2021. Check it out & jump in!  Find us at Sunday Farmers' Market at College View in Lincoln...Sundays beginning the last Sunday in April.

Eggs are available year-round at the farm & at Open Harvest & at Natural Grocers in Lincoln. Open Harvest also carries our produce seasonally. Meats are  butchered throughout the year.

Here are the highlights again...busy farm, good food, jump in & dig deeper!
