Another Wyandot County Community Garden Haul ✨It's so exciting to provide fresh produce to our community through local food pantries and community partners.

🛑 However, please do not pick produce from the community garden if you aren't a volunteer or maintaining your own box. 🛑

Why? 🤔 Because, many community garden boxes are maintained by private citizens for their own use. The produce grown in those boxes belongs to the people who maintain them and is not available to the public.

If you need fresh produce, let us know! We're happy to share once it has been picked by our staff and volunteers.
