On Sunday Oct 15th 2023 members of the JCOGS community were "out in the fields". A multigenerational crew gathered at Valley Dream Farm in Cambridge to glean potatoes and cabbage for our neighbors in need. Farmer Annie and Farmer Joe greeted us and spoke about their long relationship with Salvation Farms offering surplus crops to be gleaned. Our wonderful group gathered over 200 pounds of potatoes and nearly 400 pounds of cabbage (!) which will go directly to organizations serving Vermonters with food insecurity; either those that prepare free meals or to the food shelf where people can shop.

Please be in touch with Karen if you'd like to participate in a future glean or even organize a glean in your area. Karen.stewart@jcogs.org
