This summer, the Eden Gleaning and Garden Project has been growing and harvesting produce for area food pantries and ministries. Over the past 4 months, we have partnered with farmers in Indiana and Illinois to glean thousands of pounds of asparagus, corn, potatoes and cabbage.
Our next gleaning trip is this Saturday Sept 2, and we would love to have you join us.
- Departing Eden @ 7:30 am Central (Schroer Commons parking lot) and returning to Eden by 7pm.
- Meeting in Vincennes Indiana at St John’s UCC @ 11:30 (Eastern)
The tasks for the day allow for varying levels of physical exertion: from moderate (harvesting, lifting bags, and climbing in and out of a wagon) to light (counting and bagging produce). Bring water, snacks, and a knife (for harvesting). Lunch is provided. The forecast is for temperatures in the high 80s, so dress appropriately. We will be in the fields mid-day for 2-3 hours
