Common Ground Farm

Common Ground Farm, located in DeLand, FL, was started in 2009 by John and Pat Joslin. We offer a weekly farm market which is open to the public every Friday between 4:30 - 6:30 PM and Saturday between 9 AM - 12 PM. While our produce is not certified organic it is grown following organic standards without involving the bureaucracy and its exorbitant fees. Only organic and natural fertilizers and organically certified pest or disease control products are used in the growing of the crops. No genetically altered or chemically treated seeds are used in planting.

Our market store carries a wide selection of products, which includes our vegetables and herbs. We proudly partner with nearly dozen other local farms and vendors in Central Florida, which allows us to offer a large selection of raw goat and cow milk products, including a large selection of cheeses, free-range eggs, microgreens, fresh fruit and locally raised beef, chicken, and pork. In addition, we offer a large selection of dried organic beans and grains, RBST free (bovine growth hormone) butter, pickled vegetables, jams and an extensive collection of spices, seasonings and extracts.  

In addition to our weekly market, we offer a variety of classes throughout our season. The classes have an additional fee and are open to the public.
