Grow Together
Because raising kids, chickens, and vegetables shouldn't require a nervous breakdown.
You're Not Supposed to Do This Alone
We're a family farm in regional Victoria, and honestly? We're tired of the myth that you can homestead, homeschool, and hold it all together without losing your mind.
Common Ground started as our answer to that impossible equation. It's where crunchy families come together to share land, labour, and the kind of life our kids will actually remember—not because it was perfect, but because it was real.
We grow food. We raise animals. We teach our kids that work can be joyful and that community isn't something you find on Instagram—it's something you build, one messy, beautiful day at a time.
If you've been looking for your people, you just found them.

Here's the Thing
Every time you buy eggs from the supermarket, you're voting for a system that treats animals like widgets and families like consumers.
When you choose Common Ground, you're voting for something different.
We raise our hens from day one. That changes everything.
Our chicks come home to our farm from their very first day, so we can get the important stuff right early. They grow up with fresh air, sunshine, pasture under their feet, and room to move. They learn to forage, wander, and be chickens—not queue up like they're clocking in for a shift.
We raise our birds slowly on quality feed, diverse pasture, and time. No shortcuts. No rushing. Just daily care on a small, working family farm.
That care shows up in the eggs—you can taste it. And when you buy them, you're also supporting a working model for what comes next: a microcommunity where crunchy families share the load, raise grounded kids, and prove that village life isn't dead. It's just waiting to be rebuilt.
No pressure. But also, kind of a lot of pressure.
What We're Actually Building
-
Shared Rhythm, Less Burnout
Busy bees, seasonal work, and a structure that holds you without micromanaging your life
-
Kids Who Know Stuff
Real skills. Real responsibility. The kind of childhood they'll brag about later.
-
Actual Community
Not a vibe. Not a hashtag. Just families showing up and doing the work—together.
Join the Journey
We're building something bigger than eggs. Get updates on farm life, community building, and what it really looks like to grow together—one messy, beautiful season at a time. (this is where I connect KIT)
This Is Just the Beginning
Right now, we're a small family farm selling really good eggs. But Common Ground is becoming something bigger—a pilot for families who want to co-create a slower, more grounded life on shared land.
If you've been searching for your people, wondering if anyone else is doing life this way, or secretly Googling "intentional community but make it chill"—stick around.
We're building the village you've been dreaming of. One egg, one season, one slightly chaotic day at a time.
