About:

In late fall, there’s some produce farmers just don’t get around to picking and vegetables are typically left on the fields to rot and be used as mulch. Members of Southold high School’s National Honor Society, including myself, went to Wesnofske’s farm and gleaned the crops. The Brussels sprouts we picked were delivered to local food charities instead of going to waste in the fields. The process, known as “gleaning” is referred to in the Old Testament as having farmers leave produce on their vines along the edge of their fields for the poor.

This was a rewarding experience for us to help out families in need during the holidays and also learn about our agricultural community
