- Common Ground Farm ~ Deland, FL ~ They grow 23 vegetables and 10 herbs over a 26 week season using organic & natural practices. Also feature other products from local farms, like raw dairy. Sells directly to the public from the store on the farm. When you are part of the email list, you can also purchase apples, eggnog, Breadbecker and other seasonals through them. CSA shares available in the Fall of each year.
- Note: I have personally purchased a family sized CSA share from Common Ground when I lived closer, and even though they had a massive flood that year, and lost some crops, we still had so much food! They worked so hard to preserve what they could! Great people. I can’t say enough about farm owner John and Pat Joslin! Pickup on farm is usually Friday evening or Saturday morning.

Artisan cheese boards, Cowboy Cut Ribeye, Mediterranean Chicken Skewers (I always get this!), Bacon Gouda Meatloaf and more. Also offer Sunday brunch featuring Farmer’s Breakfast with organic eggs, Eggs Benedict, Chicken and Waffles, etc. I usually have the Huevos Rancheros for brunch.
