Harvest For Hope of Skagit County Washington

Harvest For Hope of Skagit County Washington Gleaning is an ancient practice dating back thousands of years. Gleaning can also include the sorting and collecting of food from “cull bins”.

Harvest for Hope is designed to increase the supply of fresh produce to local food banks and hot meal programs through the process of on the farm gleaning.We will accomplish this through Harvest for Hope volunteers who will harvest and transport the donated produce at your farm to our Food Bank Distribution Center once it is gleaned. The practice of gleaning consists of collecting crops from a

farmer’s field that were missed during a commercial harvest, or harvesting crops that are not economically viable for a farmer to harvest. These bins contain food that physically does not meet market standards (to small, to big, not the right color) but which is still perfectly edible. Many ancient cultures promoted gleaning as a way of supporting those in need in their communities, and it is a practice which still continues to this day.
