The Free Farm Stand, an all-volunteer run project of the No Penny Opera (a tax exempt organization) is about sharing the wealth of urban farms and gardens.
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 San Francisco and distribute it for free at our Free Farm Stand. We act as a gathering place in the Mission to encourage community growth and involvement. This effort revolves mostly around gathering surplus food from neighborhood gardens, various farmer’s markets, community gardens, public and private fruit trees, and hosting a space where this bounty can be shared with all.
The Free Farm Stand also gives away plant starts grown down the street at the All in Common Garden. The garden is open to visitors noon-3pm on Sundays and also on Tuesdays from 1-3pm.
