Homegrown only, for now
Veggies, herbs, greens and fruit grown at home by neighbours. Home-made food is coming later.
Community Shelf · A give-back project
Grown next door. Shared on our shelf.
Neighbours bring what they grow at home to self-service racks in our café: veggies, herbs, greens and fruit. You take it home. Hold a packet and pay at our counter, or take a free one.

Grown by neighbours
What the shelf is
A good tree gives more lemons than one family can use. The shelf gives that extra a place to go. Neighbours who grow bring packets to our café on Lone Tree Way and put them on a rack. Neighbours who are looking find them there, or check the shelf online first.
Checked by our staff
Growers apply once and we approve each new seller. We review every post before it goes on the shelf.
Two ways to take one
Hold a packet and pay at our counter, or take a free item. Some growers give their harvest away.
We handle the money
We collect every payment at our counter and pay growers ourselves, by Zelle or cash.
