About Food Is Free Inc.

Community-led not-for-profit Ballarat-based Food Is Free Inc. focuses on disadvantaged community, with the purpose of assisting food security, education, and community inclusion. Est. 2014, in a communal Laneway garden beside Founder Lou Ridsdale’s home, we now operate over four sites (Council/State Government assets). 1. Food Is Free Green Space, (est. 2018) - 50-garden bed, averages 100 daily visitors: at-risk community members enjoy fresh food 24/7 plus access to gardening workshops. 2. Grow & Thrive Garden - multicultural food at Barkly Square 3. First Nations Women’s Yarning Garden - mob connect in a safe space at Barkly Square 4. Sebastopol Library - food for low socio-economic population. Over the next 5 years, Food Is Free Inc. will embark on our biggest food security adventure yet - the development of a $2.2million urban food farm called Grow To Give, with food education being the main focus via a Sustainability School, modelled on both CERES & Farm My School. Vision: a food secure, inclusive, sustainable and healthy community Mission: building community resilience and environmental awareness by providing education about living sustainably, growing and sharing fresh nutritious food. Led by a team of 70 incredible volunteers, we educate and empower thousands of people, and aim to continually grow what we do.
