What is Food is Free Project?

The Food is Free Project is a worldwide movement growing community and food. The first Food is Free garden was planted in 2012 in Austin, TX but has spread like wildflowers.

Discovering The Power of a Front Yard Garden

The Food is Free Project started with one front yard garden. Less than 3 months later, 19 of the 30 houses our block hosted a front yard community garden. We created a new normal with food growing freely and we started meeting our neighbors. Within 6 months, the second Food is Free Project in Tasmania, Australia launched. This sparked a serious push to open-source the project.

Food is Free Goes Worldwide

Now over 350 cities around the world have started Food is Free Projects and we invite you to start one in your community this season. It all starts with that first front yard garden or shared harvest. Let us know if we can offer any advice along the way and share your #foodisfree photos online. We're all in this together.
