In its own words
Fruit and vegetable rescue: we harvest produce that would otherwise go to waste. This produce is then primarily redistributed to schools and social service agencies. Those that volunteer with us through this program also learn about local food production and practice harvesting. Community farming: we grow produce for donation. Our volunteers also learn about sustainable local food production. Collaborative harvest: we partner with social services agencies who bring their clients out to participate in our produce rescue or community farming programs.
