🥬 Farm to sidewalk: 35th Ave's little free produce library
Becky Franklin's family can only eat so much asparagus and bok choy. So, every Friday morning after picking up her CSA produce haul, she plucks out what she thinks they'll use and leaves the rest in a cooler outside her house on the 3400 block of 35th Avenue, augmented by the harvests of her own garden. By the time she brings it in for the evening, it's usually almost all spoken for.
It's been about a year since she started the weekly practice, which she calls "Free Food Fridays," and it has developed something of a localized following.
