Cumberland County
Gleaning Initiative

The Gleaning Initiative harvests excess produce from local farms and gardens and redistributes it to communities throughout Cumberland County. We hope to significantly increase the amount of produce redirected from fields to organizations working with low-income populations. 
Check out our 2021 Gleaning Report, 2020 Gleaning Report and  2019 Gleaning Report! 

Are you interested in getting involved?

If you are a community member looking for an active volunteer project, register below. We will happily explain how simple the process of gleaning can be. We strive to create a positive experience for farmers, volunteers, and recipient organizations. If you have more questions about becoming a volunteer gleaner, please refer to our FAQs document found here.
