Last week, we harvested Swiss Chard! 🥬

Swiss Chard is a prolific crop that produces an impressive number of pounds per plant, given that it is a leafy green!

There is never a dull day with the Glean Team! We are always learning something new and harvesting delicious new produce. We are excited to share these with our Santa Cruz County neighbors!

We’re grateful to Rancho Cielo Youth Campus and their local agricultural partners, such as Taylor Farms, and the many volunteers who packed more than 50,000 boxes while supporting youth education, vocational training, and counseling programs.

Gleaning Volunteer Spotlight! 🥬

Our gleaning volunteers continue to do amazing work with us out on the fields, allowing us to glean more and more produce!

We want to highlight one of our regular volunteers, Jenny (featured in last slide), as last Thursday was her last day gleaning with us. She has been a tremendous help all summer, and it has been a joy to glean alongside her!

We love our regulars, and we are always looking for more to join us! Come volunteer with us!
