 Hey nice people....\n\nGot organic food to share? Know about organic 
 gardening and want to share your knowledge with the public? Got seeds or 
 seedlings to donate? Have a fruit tree that we can glean fruit from for 
 feeding the poor? Care to volunteer your time helping us tend our gardens? 
 Hook up with the Free Farm Stand!\n\nWe strive to attain the following 
 goals:\n\n•help make locally grown, fresh and nutritious organic produce 
 accessible to all, especially those families and individuals on low-incomes 
 and tight budgets.\n\n•help empower people who have the space to grow 
 their own food and become more self-reliant.\n\n•promote good nutrition 
 and health\n\nWhat we do:\n\n•We grow as much food as can in our Mission 
 neighborhood and distribute it for free at our Sunday Free Farm 
 Stand.\n\n•We offer garden advice and help to those who want to put in a 
 backyard garden.\n\n•We grow seedlings and starts to give away and other 
 plants.\n\n•We offer a place where neighbors can come and share their 
 extra produce that they have grown with others.\n\n•We provide a drop-off 
 place for local organic surplus food from both local gardeners and organic 
 farmers.\n\n•We offer a weekly gathering spot where neighbors can get to 
 know each other and share their diverse cultures and traditions.\n\n•We 
 harvest organic fruit from backyard fruit trees and public spaces give away 
 it away at the Free Farm Stand.\n\n•We give away honey from local bee 
 keepers and educate neighbors about bees and gentle beekeeping.\n\n•We 
 are working with the San Francisco Permaculture Guild on a number of food 
 growing projects to turn a vacant lot on Potrero Hill into a Permaculture 
 mini-farm that will grow food that will go to the Free Farm Stand and other 
 groups that distribute food to the hungry.\n\n•We are working with about 
 fifteen kids that attend Jamestown after school program, teaching them 
 about gardening and where our food comes. We work with them to gain a sense 
 of care for their community.\n\nThe Free Farm Stand happens on Sundays 
 1-3pm. For more information or if you want to help or if you have or know 
 of a fruit tree that needs picking email us. \n
