Food Bank / Emergency Food

There are two farms here, which share an acre lot and grow thousands of pounds of food in farm-style rows, run weekly farm stands, and provide local families, restaurants and food pantries with fresh produce. Run by volunteers, more people are always welcome! See the website for more info - https://www.edgemerefarm.org/ (photo from the website). Food scraps are composted into rich soil here, too, so yours are needed for this very beneficial practice!

It is the mission of Kirkcaldy Foodbank that nobody in the Kirkcaldy area goes hungry and that everybody shares what they have.

Unsold ambient food from local supermarket.

Free food for anyone in the community who needs it. My friend volunteers. It's run by the community. People can donate money and there's different things to do - buy food, clean the fridge, drop offs. It is well utilized since it opened in May 2021.

Growing lots of greens and fresh veggies for soup kitchens this season, the Soil Start farm is based at Earth Matter, so it has great compost-rich soil! Yes, there are chickens! More to come, and hopefully, you will be able to visit this summer when Governor's Island reopens.
