FROM OUR FARM TO YOUR TABLE
Common Acre is a small-scale market garden on the Fleurieu Peninsula. We grow local, seasonal veg using low-impact organic farming methods.
Each week, our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) members receive a box of the freshest produce we’ve picked from the field. It’s a simple idea: you sign up for a season, and we grow just what’s needed, meaning less waste, more connection, and a fairer way to feed people.
We’ll be offering just 50 CSA shares in the 2025 season — get in quick.
Join us and support fair food production, healthy soil, and a more connected local food system.

Why choose Common Acre?
Flavour comes first
We grow for taste, choosing the most delicious, seasonal varieties and harvesting fresh, on the day you get your box.
Grown with organic principles
We don’t grow our veggies with pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic fertilisers. Just compost, good soil, and time.
Zero Waste
We only grow what’s been ordered. Then we only pick your veggies to order, virtually eliminating produce wastage. Your veggies are delivered in reusable crates, and any packaging we use is compostable.
Powered by renewables
Our coolroom and wash/pack shed facility runs on solar as part of our commitment to low-impact food production.
Low water use
We use drip irrigation to target exactly where crops are growing, reducing water use and runoff.
Local in every way
We’re based in Aldinga, using local inputs, creating local jobs, and growing food for our immediate community meaning our produce has ultra-low food miles.
Not-for-profit
Every dollar goes back into the farm to improve what we grow, how we grow it, and who we grow it for.
Hands-on-learning
From volunteering in the garden to learning how to grow your own, we create space for practical skills and community connection.
Building local food security
CSA members make it possible for small-scale, local food systems to thrive. If things get tough, good food and growing expertise is close to home.
