Join us in the Gleaning Garden to help with final harvests for the year, to be headed to local food assistance programs. We will also put away the beds for winter and plant some garlic!
Please bring gloves and plenty water, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. We will provide tools.

More about the Gleaning Garden:
In partnership with Pigasus Meats, the Healthy Roots Collaborative, and local volunteers, we developed and coordinate the South Hero Community Gleaning Garden, growing vegetables and herbs for local meal programs and charitable food sites. We have a particular focus on culturally relevant food crops for migrant farmworkers in our region, distributed through the Healthy Roots Collaborative in partnership with the Open Door Clinic and Bridges to Health. Finally, we provide food to local meal programs and charitable food sites including Food for Thoughts, the Champlain Islands Food Shelf, Islands in the Sun, and St. Amadeus Church.
