 Gleaning in Windham and Chittenden Counties:

Glean with the Vermont Foodbank! We have the largest gleaning program in the state with opportunities mainly in Chittenden and Windham County. Gleaning is the act of harvesting excess produce on local farms. Otherwise, these veggies would go to waste! It’s a great way to get outside, spend time at area farms and provide a much-needed service in our community. All ages welcome!
