good food grown well season 24!
Common Good Farm is in our 24th 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 1/2 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. We're changing our long-standing traditional CSA for 2020 to a FARM MEMBERSHIP. 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!
