Freedom Farmers Market

The Freedom Farmers' Market serves as a gathering place that is creating harmony while offering a variety of produce, fruits, and healthy foods.

People come to the Market not only to shop, but to socialize and to experience community. Our mission is to bring traditional legacy foods from Black farmers and other underserved farmers to the Bay Area with the goal of making regionally fresh organic or pesticide free produce and nutritional information accessible in areas devoid of supermarkets.

FREE Planter Box Workshop - Saturday, Aug 24th

Join us at the Freedom Farmers' Market on Saturday, Aug 24th, 2024, 11 am - 1 pm to experience the connection of SELF, NATURE & SPIRIT with Kenneth Franklin owner of http://PLANTLYPH.com.
Participants will construct a 9in x 9in planter box representing the Body, which needs to be strong and sturdy to protect the contents inside. Learn the essentials of building the soil, and how microorganisms work to break down matter to make it consumable for plants. Participants will paint the planter box to give it character and identity bringing it to Lyph. Planting seeds (transplanting seedlings), and watering them as they grow represents the thoughts we plant in our minds as well as the food we consume entering into our bodies, either allowing the flower to thrive, fulfilling maximum potential, or struggle, leading to death. Everything that exists has a Lyph cycle and once our bodies break down, we turn to dirt, becoming fertilizer for the earth, but the seeds we leave behind will continue to cultivate the world, physically and metaphysically. Lyph is everlasting.

Email [email protected] or show up at 11 am to join Kenneth on Aug 24th, 4521 Telegraph Ave, Oakland.
