Get your gleaning on
The harvest is coming in, and for a contingent of growers and volunteers in Haywood County, that means gleaning season.
Haywood Gleaners, a group that works with farmers and local organizations to get food that would otherwise go to waste to people who can use it, is now gearing up for harvest season.
Anyone with produce they’re not going to use — whether an individual with a vegetable garden or a farmer who’s got some leftovers in the field after harvest — can invite the gleaners to come pick. Anyone who wants to help pick can sign up to receive notifications when there’s an opportunity. The produce gets divvied up and delivered — volunteers are also needed on the delivery aspect — to any of the long list of organizations Haywood Gleaners works with.
Applications and sign-up information are online at www.haywoodgleaners.org.
