Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Common Good City Farm is an urban farm in Washington, DC, where community members source fresh food, see sustainable urban agriculture in action, and learn healthy skills. Our mission is to sustain and support a more equitable community through growing, learning, cooking, and sharing fresh food together. Our two-fold approach combats food insecurity and increases the short and long-term health and wellness of our community: meeting immediate needs by putting food on tables and addressing systemic injustices with free education and events. We serve Wards 1 and 5 and the residents of LeDroit Park, which has been deeply divided by gentrification. Common Good focuses on low-income students, teens, elderly, and residents with disabilities. Since 2008, our farm has been a place where all members of our community can come to eat, learn, and play in ways that contribute to health, community, and environmental sustainability.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our mission is to sustain and support a more equitable community through growing, learning, cooking, and sharing fresh food together. Our purpose is to work with our neighbors in nurturing a sustainable community space grounded in food justice, education, and connection.

  • Common Good City Farm 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. Common Good City Farm actively engages all members of our diverse community and creates opportunities for connection, contributing to the vibrancy and sense of place in our community. In 2023 we produced over 4000 pounds, harvesting over 47,000 servings. We support social services and community health and hunger through our Pay-What-You-Can Farm Stand, ensuring that all visitors can walk away with fresh fruits and vegetables regardless of their ability to pay. We serve 300+ families per year, and in 2023 Common Good provided over $19,000 in discounts to customers unable to afford full price, and distributed a total of $46,000 of produce and farm market products.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
