Come help feed hungry families and reduce food waste! Your help is needed to harvest crops on local area farms so that is can be eaten by hungry people rather than wasted.

Sometimes perfectly good produce is left behind in the fields, not to be harvested by the grower. Reasons why include:
-Crop grew better than anticipated and grower has excess
-Crop was damaged by the weather
-Crop doesn't meet industrial standards/ "ugly" "imperfect"

There is nothing wrong with this food but it is not economically sound for growers to harvest it. So they call upon Salem Harvest to bring out volunteers to harvest and distribute it throughout the community.

Harvesting is the main activity of Salem Harvest. Volunteers donate thousands of hours a year doing this. Harvesting opportunities occur weekly, both in the morning and evening hours, and on weekends. On average, 200 harvests are held during the months of June through December, harvesting 20+ varieties of produce.

We would LOVE to have you or your group join us in harvesting! For more information, please email Elise at elise@salemharvest.org -or- visit our website at salemharvest.org. Individuals can sign up and participate from the website and group opportunities can be arranged by contacting Elise.

Can't wait to see you in the fields!
