If starting a Freedge in your community, ensure that it is engaging and decorative. Credit: The Freedge Movement ELYRIA, Ohio — It all started with a sentence for Rachel Gonzales, 'I want to grow food.' Gonzales, co-owner and manager of Fifth Acres Farms, located in Vermilion, Ohio, added, 'And I don't want anyone to experience food insecurity.' Gonzales is referring to her relationship with the free refrigerator, or 'Freedge,' in Elyria. It's the first of its kind in the region, and her produce goes directly to people in need.
