Event/CateringEvents Calendar

Food Access

Common Roots models a system where everyone has opportunity, knowledge, choice, and access to good and healthy local food.

Organic Farming

Common Roots farms and grows organic food locally to increase everyone’s access to them.  We believe it’s critical for everyone to have access to fresh healthy food.  We grow food locally to source our giving, programs, and farmstand.

Food Education

We teach nutrition through hands-on experience, sharing, preparing and tasting healthy, organic food in schools and in all our outreach programs.
