Strawberry Bed Build at Cornerstone Farm!

Community Food Collaborative’s (CFC) Mission:
To transform community health, wealth, and vitality by re-imagining our relationships to food and farming. In working towards our mission we focus on 3 key determinants of community health: environmental stewardship, economic development, and food and nutrition access. We teach the principles and practice of these three complex issues through a network of schoolyard farms and educational programs that engage residents of all ages.
What it's like at Cornerstone Farm:
We currently have about 1 acre of land in production, including the large garden area and our orchard/food forest. The farm is located on the back side of Fairfield Middle School. The open campus style of Fairfield allows for students to walk past the farm everytime classes switch. If you volunteer with us during a school day you will likely see some students.
