"Wanna get free vegetables with me?" "Huh, it's free?"…read more"Yes!" "Are you stealing?" "No." "I don't believe you." I've had many conversations with friends about the free farm stand. So many that I need to write a yelp review so I can save my breath of excitement. WHAT IS THE FREE FARM STAND? The Free Farm Stand is place that gives away free produce. Think of it like a free farmers market. WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? It happens every Sunday from 1-3pm. They take 3 weekends off over the holidays in late December and early January. Otherwise, this farm stand happens rain or shine. WHERE IS IT? It happens at the Northeast corner of Parque de Ninos (a park in the Mission district between 22nd/23rd and Folsom/Treat). WHO RUNS THIS EVENT? Volunteers! Thanks for all your work! WHERE DOES THE FOOD COME FROM? The volunteers collect the left-over produce from farmers markets, gardens, stores, etc. around the city. No food waste, yeahhhhh. WHAT TYPE OF FOOD DO THEY HAND OUT? Everything! I've tried so many different vegetables and fruits from this place. You name it, they've had it before. Chard, lettuce, purslane, broccoli, aloe vera, figs, persimmons, herbs, etc. Lots of variations from all different cultural backgrounds. They also have bread, hummus spreads, pasta, etc. sometimes. It's always unpredictable, depending on the week. See attached photos for examples of weekly hauls. HOW DOES IT WORK? - Once you arrive, you ask for a ticket # and get in a queue. - To get the food, you wait until your number group is called, as they do it within groups of ten (#1-9, #10-19, #20-29, etc.). - Once your group is called, you go through the line. Volunteers divide and distribute the produce. - There's two shifts in which the food is handed out. If you have a number #1-59, you go in the first shift that starts at 1pm. If you have a number #60 onward, you go in the second shift that starts around 2:15pm. Times can vary depending on the week and when the second delivery of good gets in. Usually, to get a number between #1- 59, you have to show up before 1pm. Unless you get there at the end, plan to wait about 30 minutes. WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Bring bags to put the produce in. The bigger cloth bags, and I also bring the smaller plastic bags that I get from grocery stores. WHO SHOWS UP FOR THE FOOD STAND? Anyone! It's a true community gathering spot, and there's no pretense around here. It's a great place to people watch. WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFO? https://freefarmstand.org/

"Give until it hurts" --Mother Theresa…read more The year was 2001 & was attending the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University in Boulder, CO (it really exists) when I discovered the free box. There was a free box at Naropa University & one at the intentional Buddhist Community where I lived. This is a great concept of giving to others what you no longer need so someone else can put it into good use. In the free box there was books, clothes, & more. Fast forward to the year 2017 in San Francisco as I just went to the Free Farm Stand today. I had a great experience. When you show up you get a number & come back at an allotted time. Heaps of organic produce for free & received some good bounty while meeting some friendly folks. Awesome that this exists as truly feel that organics should be available to all as they can sometimes be expensive at the grocery store compared to conventional produce depending on what you are getting. Thanks to all the volunteers that make this possible & would love to see similar grass roots Free Farm Stands elsewhere as is a wonderful concept that is put into action to make a positive difference in the community.

If there's something really special in the box, Martha will often send an email with some facts and recipes which was always appreciated. And Martha, who does the deliveries is such a delight.

We liked that there wasn't even a glitch when the craziness happened with covid-19, we just got our deliveries as usual. In fact, because our delivery spot closed for the quarantine, we volunteered to have our front porch as a drop off location. It was excellent. In mid-July 2024, they made an announcement that they were shifting their focus to prepared foods with an option for a preset produce box.I missed it. One day, our veggies just never showed up. I called, texted, emailed. None of the contact info was active and their website went down. I was sad & a little worried. It was just weird how everything stopped all at once. I somehow managed to figure out what happened and tracked them down. If you still want a produce box, they still deliver. Here is the new website: https://csa.farmigo.com/join/farmhousecafe

I ended up prepaying for the month of May as their April was apparently booked? Anyway. They have a pretty slick website to select produce and other items, if you don't want just a pre-made farm box like some other companies do. Just a word to the wise (who is not me): be sure to read the website for their policies. They offer no refunds, you can't truly cancel in the sense that the month you prepaid will not be reimbursed, and the biggest gripe I have is that it's on a "credit" instead of dollar system, so you don't truly know how much money you're paying for a specific item until you get past your pre-set credits (different amounts based on the size of your box). The quality of the produce itself was good, albeit smaller amounts than I've been getting at other local farms (I found other places during the month I was delayed from joining here). My other word of caution is to ensure that you know all the policies around your delivery, its time, and any quirks there. The delivery location I used ended up closing on my delivery day, so the produce was hidden behind bushes. I had no idea until it was too late and my produce was inedible. Inedible produce was neither credited nor refunded. By now, I had decided to cancel anyway, but ended up "eating" (so to speak) the cost of my ruined produce and the following week's. So, that's $56 I won't see again. Anyway, just make sure to inform yourself before committing.
