Host a Boulevard Free Food Help Yourself Garden Bed

Free Food Help Yourself (FFHY) is a network of boulevard garden bed growers in Northfield who work together to grow food to share with everyone in the community to glean and eat. Simple, powerful, & delicious!

We are looking to add 1-2 new growers to our group.

 Our growers receive a high quality raised garden bed (approx. 5ft x 8ft) and a sign that says “Fee Food Help Yourself” installed on their property near the road visible to passer-by.  In the spring, our growers receive notice to pick up plants to place in their beds, as well as whatever they choose to add.  Growers maintain the garden over the growing season - allowing people to take what they want.  This year, we will be installing the beds on 5/7/22.

 *Requirement to have a sunny, fairly level spot in your yard - your own yard or the express consent of the person that owns the property.

*Commitment to plant/maintain/clean the garden over a series of years.

*Sharing with us your contact information.  Free Food Help Yourself volunteers will contact you to periodically check on the bed for maintenance needs and keep the bed itself maintained, as well as for plant pick-up.
