The Redwood Free Market is a food pantry/basic needs hub on the UC Santa Cruz campus. We support students with free food distributions consisting of dry goods, produce, and personal care products. We also connect students to campus and community resources like CalFresh.
We're ALWAYS in need of fresh produce for our student patrons!

ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
