We strive to attain the following goals:
•help make locally grown, fresh and nutritious organic produce accessible to all, especially those families and individuals on low-incomes and tight budgets.
•help empower people who have the space to grow their own food and become more self-reliant.
•promote good nutrition and health
What we do:
•We grow as much food as can in our Mission neighborhood and distribute it for free at our Sunday Free Farm Stand.
•We offer garden advice and help to those who want to put in a backyard garden.
•We grow seedlings and starts to give away and other plants.
•We offer a place where neighbors can come and share their extra produce that they have grown with others.
•We provide a drop-off place for local organic surplus food from both local gardeners and organic farmers.
•We offer a weekly gathering spot where neighbors can get to know each other and share their diverse cultures and traditions.
•We harvest organic fruit from backyard fruit trees and public spaces give away it away at the Free Farm Stand.
•We give away honey from local bee keepers and educate neighbors about bees and gentle beekeeping.
•We are working with the San Francisco Permaculture Guild on a number of food growing projects to turn a vacant lot on Potrero Hill into a Permaculture mini-farm that will grow food that will go to the Free Farm Stand and other groups that distribute food to the hungry.
