We would love to bless you with a FREE meal
At The Ivy Table, our goal is to make delicious, nutritious food available to everyone regardless of story, circumstance, or financial means. As Livingston County's first and only pay-what-you-can cafe, pricing on our menu is optional. After placing their order, every guest is asked "Can we bless you with a free meal today?". Those who need a free meal, can simply shake their head yes to receive one- no questions asked. Those who wish to pay-it-forward by making a donation to help cover the meal of someone else can do so. At any point in time, when you look around our cafe, you cannot tell who is there to be blessed and who is there to be a blessing.

The Free Meal Fridge
When our cafe is not open, we keep prepared meals in a free meal fridge located at the front of our building in the shed by our garden. Anyone in need is welcome to help themselves at any time to a meal (1 per person per day please).
