Local Foods Community Project
Donation protected
Farm, Fork & Fiddle is a café, market and community gathering space just off the Gainesville square. The storefront, operated by local non-profit organization The Ozark County Homegrown Food Project, takes aim at strengthening the local community by providing a central location where the efforts of local farmers, ranchers, artists and concerned citizens can be combined, allowing local folks the ability to sell and buy from other local folks.
Although Farm, Fork & Fiddle is open to the public for shopping and dining, memberships are available for those interested in financially supporting the project and/or selling their goods or services within the shop. Memberships are tailored to fit everyone, from the customer who shops and dines regularly to the farmer who provides local food for sale to the baker who wishes to use the certified community kitchen to produce his or her goods to sell within the shop. Membership can be paid financially or through volunteering.
We are very proud of our "Pay it Forward" lunch program. Diners donate change at the register then those donations are used to provide free meals for anyone who wants to enjoy lunch in the cafe for free. Tickets are available and no questions or embarrassing moments for people wanting to use the program.
In addition to café offerings, locally grown and produced food and handmade items, Farm, Fork & Fiddle and its members hopes to offer workshops, classes, lessons and music performances to the public.
All that said, Farm, Fork & Fiddle is an evolving concept. We'll be shaping, revising and futhering our vision as we go. So come on, join us!

We are in a transition period right now with some founding members moving on to other adventures. With these changes the cafe is in need of equipment, dishes, pot pans and much more. People have volunteered a huge amount of hours to start and run this venue and want it to continue and grow. Any donation is very much accepted and appreciated. Farm Fork and Fiddle is an all volunteer organization and a 501c3 , all donations are tax deductible.
The picture is of a recent event a Farm to Table potluck with music, games and food. The members want to make this a place for the community to come together. Lets make it happen!!
