Gleaning
Gleaning is the act of harvesting excess vegetables from farm fields that would otherwise not be harvested. Vermont Foodbank is no longer operating a gleaning food rescue program.
We are excited about the work of the Vermont Gleaning Collective and encourage you to check out their website for information on their gleaning efforts throughout the state.
Glean With an Organization Near You
You can help connect neighbors with fresh, local food by volunteering to glean at area farms this season!
Gleaning is a fun, family-friendly volunteer opportunity and a great way to spend time on beautiful Vermont farms.
The Vermont Gleaning Collective supports programs around the state, we’d like to encourage you to find ways to join a gleaning effort near you! Please find information about the Vermont Gleaning Collective on their website.
If you are a group that has worked with Vermont Foodbank over the last few years in Chittenden County, please contact Feeding Champlain Valley’s Gleaning Program as well as well as the Intervale Center to find ways to stay engaged in the work.Thank you, farmers and volunteers!
