  3. I love peasant abundance. Had a wonderful meal today with roadkill roe deer and yellow peas stew over the fire, cooked apples and kale, big colorful salad, bread, wild mushrooms and ciders from apple, pear and sour cherry. Everything harvested within walking distance. The deer the cider maker found at the way side on his way to press apples a few days ago.

  5. #Gleaning with #MidCoast #HungerPrevention Program reduces waste and increases community

    Maya Khalil, Posted July 14, 2025

    "This summer, I feel very lucky to be completing a fellowship with the #MerrymeetingGleaners group at Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program. This fellowship, funded by #BowdoinCollege ’s McKeen Center for the Common Good, has provided me with knowledge and hands-on experience I will carry with me throughout college and my career. Before I began this fellowship, you could say I was 'gleaning-curious.' I was familiar with the basic concept — volunteers harvest surplus crops from farms, which they donate to #HungerRelief efforts — but I had never actually gleaned. Now, I glean three mornings a week, traveling to local farms to pick everything from strawberries to Swiss chard.

    "Gleaning is an elegant way to fight both #FoodWaste and #FoodInsecurity . Farming yields are inherently imprecise. They are influenced by weather, pests and many other factors outside of human control. That unpredictability, paired with a fast-moving economy, is challenging and often leads to surplus crops staying in the fields. Gleaning can rescue thousands of pounds of produce and provide fresh, local, nutritious meals to folks who may not be able to access them otherwise. It takes time, patience and hard work, but the process is powerful and rewarding. About halfway through the harvest season, we have rescued almost 3,000 pounds of produce, equivalent to about 2,500 meals! I am so grateful to the folks at #SixRiverFarm, #GoransonFarm and #HarvestTide #Organics who open their fields to this work."

  8. UMaine Extension Gleaning Handbook

    "Webster’s New World Dictionary defines gleaning as “to harvest grain left behind by reapers.” The Maine Harvest for Hunger program has adapted the gleaning model to help get more nutritious, fresh food to more community members in need. Thanks to the generosity of local farmers, #MasterGardener Volunteers and other trained volunteers are invited into the fields to harvest designated produce for local pantries and soup kitchens. Learn more at the Maine Harvest for Hunger website.

    University of Maine Cooperative Extension considers gleaning to be food harvested/sourced and transported for donation to food pantries and other organizations that provide food for those who are food insecure. This food can come from community gardens, home gardens, farm stands, and farmers markets. It can also be grown on commercial farms, where the farmer allows volunteers to glean on their farm. Crops typically gleaned are those that keep well or have a long storage life. However, even crops with a short shelf life can be gleaned if it is done quickly and the food is properly distributed for consumption or preserved for later use.

    #UMaineExtension is involved in gleaning because food insecurity exists in every Maine county. Extension has a long history of addressing the research and education needs of Maine’s farming and home gardening communities with its focus on the Maine Food System. Gleaning is one way to reduce food waste and get local food to its best use—feeding local people—quickly.

    Information in this handbook does not necessarily pertain to every gleaner/gleaning group, every time. It is an outline of potential ways to do gleaning. Being organized is essential, whether at a farm, garden, or pantry. Being organized includes knowing who does what, when, and where, so that the food gathered does not go to waste.

    All sections can stand alone, so it is not necessary to read this handbook in a specific order. Feel free to skip to the topics relevant to your situation. This handbook is organized from the general to the specific and ends with inspirational success stories and a list of additional resources.

    [...]

    "Late summer is when squash, beans, flowers, and corn are typically in season. Fall is the season of hard squash, root vegetables, and potatoes, which are long-lasting storage crops. In the fall, apples are also a natural “group glean” for schools, companies, and families. Apple picking is a fall tradition, and this is a good “first glean” for new groups of volunteers. Gleaning can occur in test fields after data has been gathered at educational farms or even at farms that are growing plants to test for seed production. In Maine, #JohnnysSeeds has always been very generous when it comes to gleaning their fields."

  9. The olive tree, the late-summer sky, the soft lights, and that atmosphere that feels like home and a celebration in the countryside.
    All that’s left is to set the table.

    Tomorrow, the kitchen will begin to fill the air with the aromas and flavours of our land.

    The Harvest Table is about to come to life. 🎃🌿

    "Evergreen started its Saturday Farmers Market in 2007 with 25 local farmers and producers, a great location, and a great community response. At the time, many predicted that it wouldn’t last. But, last, it did. Since then, it has grown into the largest year-round farmers market in Toronto.

    "Open year-round, snow or shine, Evergreen’s Saturday Farmers Market is the meeting place for people from across the city—and beyond. Here you can connect with fellow Torontarians and local Ontario food producers alike."

  17. #NewZealand #Aotearoa - #CommunityPantry Locations

    "Finding community pantries near me is becoming a priority for many New Zealand families navigating the rising cost of living and seeking to reduce food waste through community-led sharing initiatives. These #PātakaKai (food storehouses) operate on the principle of ‘take what you need, leave what you can,’ providing a vital safety net that fosters #manaakitanga (hospitality and care) within our diverse neighborhoods from Northland to Southland.

    The concept of the community pantry has evolved rapidly in Aotearoa. What started as a few informal ‘#SharingSheds’ has grown into a sophisticated national network of Pātaka Kai.

    In the current economic climate, #FoodInsecurity affects a broad demographic of New Zealanders. These pantries provide immediate, #BarrierFreeAccess to nutrition without the stigma often associated with traditional #WelfareQueues.

    Moreover, these locations are hubs for #sustainability. By redirecting surplus #garden produce and supermarket ‘best-before’ items, they play a critical role in the #CircularEconomy of our local regions.

    'The Pātaka Kai movement is more than just food; it is about restoring dignity to our communities and ensuring that no one goes hungry while our land produces so much abundance.' — Community Leader, NZ #FoodSovereignty Project.

    - Reduces local #FoodWaste significantly.
    - Strengthens neighborhood social ties.
    - Provides 24/7 access to emergency food supplies.
    - Encourages the sharing of home-grown organic produce."
