At The Common Market, we envision a nation composed of vibrant regional food systems- where interdependent urban and rural communities thrive through relationships that build the health and wealth of all people.  Our mission is to strengthen regional farms while making the local bounty accessible to communities and the institutions that serve them.  We strive to improve food security, farm viability, and community and ecological health.

With locations currently serving New York City, Greater Philadelphia, Baltimore, Greater Washington, DC and the Greater Atlanta regions, we are expanding to our third location serving the Greater Houston region.

The Common Market connects communities by delivering local food for the common good. We are a mission-driven distributor of local products. Our mission is to strengthen small and family-owned farms while simultaneously improving food access and public health for our most vulnerable communities.

The Common Market Farm Share program directly connects consumers to local produce through public and private pickup locations in the Atlanta area. Members of our farm share program receive a variety of pre-selected seasonal produce through bi-weekly “shares.” Workplaces, residential buildings and places of worship bring communities together to host farm share sites in both the winter and summer. Learn more about our program at cmfarmshare.org.
