One of the most cathartic experiences of my life began with something as simple as some gifted seeds from a friend. As I look around at all of the amazing friends and neighbors I’ve met through the simple connection of food, I am so grateful for those seeds that have grown, bore fruit, and withered away but continue to produce in ways I could have never imagined.

We would be honored to share this connection with you and invite you to dive in and plant some seeds of your own this spring. Already garden? Try planting some extras for a neighbor! We’d love to help and will gladly share any and all knowledge we’ve been grateful enough to learn through our own mistakes and victories.

Welcome to the Food is Free Project. A simple idea with a big dream, turning our brothers and sisters back to commUNITY, reconnecting and empowering one another to get back in touch with food while creating an atmosphere which harbors a fulfilling, connected life with our environment and fellow humans. Learning where our food comes from, how it makes it’s way to our dinner table, and the magic that unfolds in between.

Our first Food is Free garden

Do you believe fresh, healthy food should be a natural human right? Then join the movement and let’s work together to create an abundance of local produce right in our front yards. Imagine walking down your street lined with front yard gardens and lush produce for all to share. Does that thought make you smile? Then join us! Here we go!

We’re currently piloting the project in the Brentwood neighborhood of Austin for a full launch this spring. With the amazing feedback we’ve been getting from passersby and word of mouth, I can sense that we are heading in the right direction.
