About Us Common Good City Farm (CGCF) is a non-profit organization with a mission to create a vibrant, informed, and well-nourished community through urban farming. Founded by community members in 2007, CGCF is a place where community members can source fresh food, see sustainable urban agriculture in action, and gain exposure to concepts and skills to lead healthy lives. We actively engage with all members of our diverse community and create opportunity for connections on our farm, while emphasizing intensive vegetable production and modeling best practices in sustainable urban agriculture.  Come EAT...
