#MomLife, Cattle

My daughter is nearly 18 months old right now. It’s the perfect age to remember all the things you were going to do as the “perfect” parent — and it’s been long enough to have broken most of those rules already.

Sustainable Farming From a Farmer's Perspective

Chances are, you’ve seen “sustainably farmed” labels at your grocery store. Did you ever stop to wonder what that means? Like many confusing food labels, the definition is not universal. In fact, sustainability can mean different things from one farm to another.

Have you ever wondered who is growing your food and if it’s safe?

At CommonGround, we help you find the answers. We are a group of farmer volunteers having conversations about the food we grow and how we produce it.

We share our personal experiences, as well as science and research, to help our fellow consumers sort through the myths and misinformation surrounding food and farming.
