The Free Farm
The Free Farm in San Francisco, run fully by volunteers, is
dedicated to bringing fresh, local, organic produce for free to under-served
communities in the San Francisco area. In 2009 alone, they gifted over 20,000
lbs of produce. A remarkable activist describes his experience in serving at
the Free Farm. "We are not growing fruits and veggies. We are facilitating the
growth of soil and community. The food is a by-product. We're mostly giving
back to Mother Earth, and in the process, enjoying the co-creation of noble
friendship. This is the revelation I got when I met "Tree" (the founder of the
Free Farm). From my perspective, this is Gandhi's constructive program at its
best, revamped for the 21st century. Gandhi used the spinning wheel as both
physical embodiment and symbol for radical change. Today, the foundation for
social justice is local and healthy food -- our "spinning wheel" for the 21st
century." { read more }
