Fearless February Almanac 2025
February may be cold and still, but beneath the surface and behind the scenes, momentum is building. The Farm Team is transforming the farm business into a cooperatively held enterprise, Planning & Development is navigating permits and finances, and new members are deepening their roots in the community. Even in winter’s quiet, big things are in motion, as this Almanac reveals.
Meanwhile, the world feels more chaotic than ever. The news cycle spins, politics shake, and uncertainty seems to be the only sure thing. But at Common Ground, something different is happening. Foundations are being built—literally and figuratively—for a better way to live. A place of resilience, connection, and care. We remember that there is another way.
And so, we keep moving fearlessly, joyfully forward. Joy is a practice, a steady light, a quiet kind of courage. In uncertain times, it grounds us, connects us, and reminds us why we build, why we care, why we keep going.
