We ended the 2022 season with 60,600 lbs of fresh produce for our community! This total equates to more than 174,000 individual servings of food…nutritious food that would otherwise have gone to waste.
Spring is Here!: If you are looking to get outside and learn about agriculture this summer then be on the lookout for our gleaning emails! Tell your friends and family to visit our website and fill out the contact form so they can be informed as well! Head out to the field with us and learn, give back to our community, and enjoy our AG rich region! We are also in need of volunteer drivers to transport our harvest to our local Food Banks. If you are looking for in town volunteerism, we are searching for Farmer’s Market pick up volunteers, to receive donations from market vendors, and deliver them to our local food banks!
