The Common Market Annual Report 2024

Our 2024 Annual Report highlights how The Common Market partnered with communities and institutions across the U.S., including 351 school cafeterias, to connect students and others in need to fresh, local foods while opening new markets for more than 100 American family farms. These partnerships strengthened the backbone of resilient, regional food systems by boosting both community health and farm viability. One powerful example: Country View Dairy of Hawkeye, Iowa, served Chicago Public Schools for the first time—bringing wholesome yogurt to the nation’s fourth-largest school district and opening the door to transformative growth for this mid-sized, family-owned farm. Stories like this, shared throughout our report, show how a simple cafeteria tray can spark lasting change.
