Come to our Food is Free build days and learn with us as we line entire blocks with low-maintenance garden beds made from salvaged materials. These beds will provide free food to anyone in the community!

Slide 1

Collect

Gather your neighbors and the (free) resources needed to build a food forest on your own block!

Slide 2

Construct

Learn with us how to build self-watering "wicking" beds and engage your community. Then, turn your block into the next Food is Free building and teaching site!

Slide 3

Cultivate

Grow food in your new garden beds along with new relationships with your neighbors through your Food is Free project

Slide 4

Grow Free Food and Community in Your Front Yard

Current Project

Join us every Saturday and on our big planting day on March 1st as we build a free food forest on Joe Sayers Avenue in Austin, Texas!

Future Community Projects

Your input will help us decide where the next Food is Free Community Project will be implemented

Help us Grow

Your donations of cash, garden supplies, construction materials, tools, and other items are vital for growing free gardens and communities!

Food is Free Gear

When you donate cash, we will send you a super soft Food is Free t-shirt and a sweet bumper sticker!

Nothing sparked so many conversations with my neighbors than installing a small garden in my front yard. It was then that I realized the power of gardens to unite communities in addition to providing free healthy food!" - John VanDeusen, Founder of the Food is Free Project
