Join Us at Whole Foods - Tuesday, May 24
On Tuesday, May 24, Whole Foods Market's three Boston stores are holding a 5% Day -- and The Food Project’s Boston Bounty Bucks program will benefit!
Five percent of the day’s net sales from each store will be donated to support low-income people’s ability to buy fresh, locally grown produce at participating farmers’ markets throughout Boston.
Read about our involvement and what the money will support.

Boston City Farm Fest a Big Success,
Lynn Farm Fest Promises More This Saturday
Though we had to move this spring’s Boston City Farm Fest inside the Dudley Greenhouse, the rain did not keep eager gardeners away. Through the late morning and early afternoon on May 7, they stood patiently in line to buy their shares of transplants, seeds, and garden supplies. Youth and staff from The Food Project were on hand to distribute the wares, along with expert gardening advice. Adding to the festive atmosphere were our friends from Clover, who parked their healthy food truck next to the greenhouse and offered tasty vegetarian treats.
We’re expecting continued success this Saturday, May 21, when our North Shore edition of City Farm Fest will take place in Lynn. It’ll go from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., on TFP’s Munroe Street Farm in downtown Lynn.
More information is available on our website.
