.:: Seasonal Devotions ::.
Everybody loves a lil’ sweetness! That’s why we are going to put 1 pint of organic FEED Cooperative strawberries in every single FEED Bin until stone fruit season begins. We believe in supporting the reality that is our local food system, we believe your investment of $35 per week deserves a sweet return.
Join us for more sweetness throughout the 2021 season including:
- strawberries
- plums
- peaches
- apricots
- apples
- asian pears
- european pears
- raspberries
- persimmons
- feijoa
...Be the sweetness you want to see in the world

Our friends, supporters, and hub hosts at Rodef Sholom in San Rafael also host one of the Marin Community Fridges! This program is a community-led mutual aid project setting up fridges full of free food for the community. Rodef Sholom offers a power source and Marin Community Fridges alongside volunteers and donors do the rest. Our customers who pick up at Rodef Sholom on Saturdays tell us that they love putting any Bin items they don't want or need into the community fridge. The food goes to community members in need, no questions asked.
Freedge tracks community fridges across the world including those run by Marin Community Fridges. Check out the Freedge map to see if there's one near you!

.:: County Line Harvest Update ::.
Well, it’s about that time...our Thermal farm season (our second location, located in the Coachella Valley) is coming to a close at the end of June as the heat comes on and their spring and early summer crops wrap up there. Normally we would be transitioning all our efforts Petaluma location where we lease 30 acres, but this season is a little different because of the current severe drought conditions. For the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer in Petaluma.
Through all the ups and downs, it’s hard to put the last year into words. But above all else, we are so immensely grateful for all the wonderful support we have received from our community partners and friends both new and old. It’s been our honor to provide you with fresh food through the pandemic, and we look forward to continuing to grow in the fall.
