"GLEAN" Help harvest at local farms and orchards

posted Feb 22, 2013, 9:39 PM by Andrew Nuckols

Gleaning is an age-old tradition of harvesting what a farmer has left in their fields. AFAC has connections with several area organizations which harvest crops in farms and at orchards.  Most gleaning takes place on Saturday mornings during the summer and fall.  Visit our website www.afac.org or contact Danielle.Rampton@afac.org for details.
