Our mission is to cultivate a welcoming and vibrant community supporting sustainable farmers, producers and artisans.

Twinberry Commons is an umbrella public benefit nonprofit organization working on developing a community space that meets the needs of the local community for information about access to healthy, fresh, sustainably grown and produced foods; learning new skills and gaining knowledge through community based educational gatherings, events, and workshops; assisting with the transition of our community’s local Farm Stand into a nonprofit food co-op to ensure its long term survival; and creating the foundation for our Commons – a public space where local population and visitors can gather knowledge and develop common ground.

We also plan to partner with local experts, agencies, and other nonprofits to develop an educational incubator training program to support small, local businesses.

Our Story

The nonprofit was established in late 2024 by Cottage Grove community members who had been actively engaged in saving one of its longtime small businesses – the Coast Fork Farm Stand.

In that process it became evident that the Cottage Grove community wanted a larger, common space where a number of needs might be filled in relation to health, food access and food security, sustainable farming and production practices, emergency preparedness and more.
