Community Meals

Weekly Menu Calendar

The Community Meal at Stone Soup Café is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis every Saturday from 12 PM to 1:30 PM at the corner of Hope Street and Main Street in Greenfield, MA.

The meal is served "to-go" – available via curbside pickup or delivery.

Every week the menu changes, but it is always a delicious, nutritious, scratch-cooked, balanced meal. Our menus cater to a variety of dietary needs and cultural cuisines with vegetarian, vegan, or meat selections. Everything is 100% GLUTEN-FREE!

We partner with myriad Franklin County farms and businesses to source and glean fresh, local, produce and ingredients for our meals. Reducing waste, strengthening regional food systems, and improving equitable access to healthy and high-quality food are some of our highest priorities.

Through our volunteer-led delivery program, Stone Soup provides pay-what-you-can meals to Greenfield and fifteen surrounding towns for people who are homebound, have limited access to transportation, or are physically or otherwise unable to come to Stone Soup in person.

As of 2025, Stone Soup Café serves approximately 600 meals every Saturday.

About Our Meal

How does the Pay-What-You-Can Model Work?

Our Pay-What-You-Can model relies on connection, relationship-building, and trust to succeed! It invites us all to participate at any level in which we can. That means you can pay $0 - $20 for you meal. If you can't pay, you can help out another way! Volunteer, like us on social media, write a review on Google, etc!

What Is a "Fixed Menu?"

Since COVID, Stone Soup Café has had to shift away from a buffet-style lunch to a fixed menu. A fixed menu includes an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert -- with little variablity. While guests can modify these based on dietary restrictions, there is only one option to choose between: MEAT or VEGAN.

Where do we source ingredients?

We partner with myriad Franklin County farms and businesses to source and glean fresh, local, produce and ingredients for our meals. Reducing waste, strengthening regional food systems, and improving equitable access to healthy and high-quality food are some of our highest priorities. We are also a member agency of the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. We get produce from Atlas Farms, Just Roots, Red Fire Farms, and many others! We buy other grocery items from Foster's Market.

How do we design the weekly menu?

Each week the Chef's team searches the world for these opportunities to celebrate our community. We embrace cuisine from around the world and bring it to the table for all to eat. We desire to provide palette-expanding opportunities that meet the needs of all our guests.

Our food is made from scratch – rarely using processed foods – and meets the needs of any dietary preference or restriction.

Our weekly menu offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free foods and meat or fish protein options.

Before COVID-19, we enhanced the weekly celebratory theme at the Café by decorating the room and tables. On any given week the tables may be sprinkled with confetti or candy, flowers – live or silk adorn the centerpieces -- and tablecloths and placemats are coordinated. The total dining experience is one that supports the occasion and cuisine. We want our community to enjoy the meal, get to know each other, and have a lovely time at the Café.

The Café’s food philosophy is probably why our meals have become a popular draw to our community. When we sit down together and share a meal we become a beloved community – a family who shares times of celebration and tradition.
