The Vermont Foodbank is pleased to announce that the Agricultural Resources department is working diligently to duplicate the successful Salvation Farms ~ Lamoille Valley model in the Montpelier area.

Currently farms and volunteers are being recruited to become valuable participants of this community gleaning group.

This first gleaning season will set the stage for years to come. Developments will proceed with caution, making sure that we can provide our farmers exceptional service, ensuring that we are performing with consistent competence, leading volunteer gleaners in an efficient and effective manor, while demanding minimal support from the farm itself.

We will offer direct distribution of gleaned produce to current Network Partners of the Vermont Foodbank in the greater Montpelier area. Interest in receiving regular to semi-regular delivers offering free salvaged produce will occur as gleans begin and regularity as well as volumes of gleaned product is determined.

Are you interested in getting involved?
