Everyone is welcome at Tikkun Farm. The Free Market is open to anyone in need of food support — no proof of income is required.
First-time visitors simply provide an ID and answer a few questions when they arrive.
The Free Market is open multiple times a week. You are welcome to come every time it is open. You are encouraged to take as much as your family will use, keeping in mind that other families also need support.
Tikkun Farm's Free Market is part of their Nourishing Families program. You can shop for a variety of items including fresh produce, certain meats, and bread. Many of the fruits and vegetables are farm-fresh, grown right on the property. Past visitors have received items like apples, radishes, sweet potatoes, and yellow onions.
The farm also partners with organizations like The Free Store Foodbank, UDF, Matthew 25 Ministries, and La Soupe to reduce food waste and bring more variety to the community.
On some Sundays and Mondays, volunteers deliver crockpot meal kits to families who need them.
The Free Market operates as a choice pantry — you walk through and pick what you need. Here's how it works:
Hours may change around holidays, so it's a good idea to check ahead.
Beyond the Free Market, Tikkun Farm offers a wide range of programs for the community:
Tikkun Farm is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that depends on donations to keep running. Your gift helps cover everyday costs like staff, utilities, and supplies that grants don't always cover.

Tikkun Farm is a volunteer-run organization with more than 200 active volunteers every week. Whether you have two hours a month or two hours a week, there's a place for you. Many people who first visited the Free Market later became volunteers — it's a community where everyone both gives and receives.
Volunteer Days happen twice a month:
Sign up by noon the Friday before. Groups are welcome — one person can sign up for the whole group.
When you arrive for a Volunteer Day, come down the driveway to the back parking lot. Fresh baked goodies will be waiting for you at the fire circle.

You can also volunteer from home — chopping vegetables, preparing spice kits, or fostering baby chicks.
