Grow too much? Do your neighbors have enough of your prize zucchini? Simply deliver your surplus produce to one of the drop stations below. It will join an already-scheduled BFR food distribution.
Drop stations (coolers) are maintained by volunteers in their communities. To optimize freshness and minimize work for the volunteers, please deliver on the preferred days of the week noted below.
Please do not deliver produce that is overgrown or overripe. For donations of non-produce backyard food products like eggs, honey, or cottage goods, please email [email protected].
