Faith2Farm Market Garden, a local farm and market in Lubbock, is opening its fields to the community for a free pick‑your‑own pepper event this Saturday, November 14. The farm will have three varieties available—jalapeños, serranos and Anaheim peppers—and there is no limit on how many each visitor may take.
Event Details
The harvest runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the farm’s address, 1511 County Road 7140, Lubbock, Texas. No registration or admission charge is required; participants simply need to arrive ready to pick.
What to Bring
Organizers ask volunteers to bring their own bags or containers for the peppers. Because the harvest involves handling plants directly, comfortable shoes and gardening gloves are recommended. Hand‑washing after handling serranos is advised, as the heat can irritate eyes.
Why the Free Harvest?
Faith2Farm has a remaining crop of peppers that would likely be lost to the first freeze of winter. Rather than let the produce go to waste, the farm is sharing it with neighbors, supporting food security and encouraging families to enjoy fresh, locally grown vegetables.
Community Impact
Events like this reinforce the spirit of neighborly generosity that is central to Lubbock’s Christian and family‑focused values. By providing free, healthy food, Faith2Farm helps families stretch their grocery budgets and offers an educational opportunity for children to learn where their food comes from.
