We at the Tri-State Freethinkers love to volunteer with the Freestore Foodbank and being outside. So naturally, we love to volunteer at The Giving Fields. The Giving Fields. The Giving Fields is a Freestore Foodbank program that provides fresh fruits and vegetables to our neighbors who need our help. The 10-acre community farm is located in Melbourne, Kentucky. Some of the produce grown at the Giving Fields includes blueberries, apples, strawberries, lettuce, kale, onions, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, green beans and so much more!
The community farm provides produce for 117,000 meals each season. The fruits and vegetables benefit more than a dozen Freestore Foodbank community partner agencies in Northern Kentucky. The agencies are emergency feeding organizations such as food pantries and soup kitchens that work with the Freestore Foodbank to serve the community.
