The Food is Free Project is open-source. Take what inspires you and tailor ideas to fit your community. We’re all learning from and inspiring one another.

 

A Food is Free Project will look different from one city to the next. We’re all about growing food and sharing it, opening doors to community.

 

Thank you for sharing the vision and taking action in your front yard. Share your #foodisfree photos on social media and here’s to the power of our small actions united!

How to Start a Food is Free Project Guide – Click the image below to read the guide. Right click and “save link as” to download it. Plant a front yard garden and share the harvest this season and join the ‪#‎foodisfree‬ movement.

Again, this project is open-source so feel free to translate this guide into other languages and tailor it to fit the needs of your community. We’re all growing and sharing food as we learn together.
