This sort of updates Amy Sinclair’s post on the opportunity we as gardeners have to pass on our excess of zucchinis, tomatoes and other crops that arrive by the bushel. Your neighbors might run the other way in zucchini season when they see you coming (again) with an armful of squash, but those who feed the hungry are hoping gardeners will remember to pass on what they can’t use.
Amy’s story on NECN this afternoon looks at a Cumberland, Maine farmer who heads up the local chapter of the group “Plant a Row for the Hungry.”
If you are not already connected with a food pantry in your community, your local cooperative extension office is a great place to start.
