> Founded in April 2021 by Noelle Trueheart, Phil Cordelli, and Betzi Jackson on three acres in Lafayette that have been continuously farmed for nearly 150 years, Common Name Farm practices regenerative agriculture with a social justice mission. Cordelli explains their philosophy: 'Every small farm is an act of rebellion to the food system that is so often oppressive.' The name itself reflects their values, as Trueheart notes: 'Common Name' honors 'humble farming practices and community spirit' rather than scientific nomenclature. The farm represents 'a belief in art, in magic, in folklore, in community, in feeding,' while donating harvests to Warren Village, Metro Caring, and Kaizen Food Rescue alongside maintaining a 40-member CSA program.
