Common Ground Farm is a small to mid-sized nonprofit in the Hudson Valley that grows fresh produce on land at the Stony Kill Farm Environmental Education Center in Wappingers Falls, New York. Its mission centers on serving the community through food justice and education across ages and incomes, using farm-based programs and partnerships with local networks. The organization donates produce to local food pantries and soup kitchens and runs a mobile market program, Common Greens, to provide reduced-priced produce for seniors and low-income families in Beacon. Education initiatives include Summer Camp, Preschool on the Farm, Young Homesteaders, and Wilderness Skills, with collaborations like Beacon's Farm to School program that brings farming and nutrition education into classrooms. Although the farm follows organic growing practices and is transparent about its methods, it operates without formal organic certification, inviting questions about seed-to-harvest processes. The organization is based in the Hudson Valley and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
