Do you have questions about gleaning? Want to become a gleaner or prevent your own fruit from going to waste?
Every summer, PT Gleaners pick 1000s of pounds of fruit and distribute it to local schools and other organizations.
Hear the story of the PT Gleaners - how they got started, how they get organized, the skills and safety requirements, and the annual production of hundreds of jars of applesauce.
Doug, Suzanne and Janice are experienced orchard & community gleaners. Discover how you can become part of the food security solution! www.foodbankgrowers.org/gleaning
Food For Thought, a free series offered by the Quimper Grange #720, examines "all things food” in our area. For over 100 years, this Grange has supported the Jefferson County community through public programming, concerts, dance, rental space, and a 7,000 ft² all-volunteer garden which donates produce to help food insecurity around our county.
Doors open at 6:15. All are welcome - the Grange has ADA access.
