Join us at EarthDance Farm in Ferguson, MO. We will be harvesting peppers to share with families in need through Operation Food Search's network of partner agencies. EathDance Farm is a teaching farm, sharing the craft and science of organic farming with people from all walks of life. Their 14-acre historic farm provides a model of sustainable food production. Through their Organic Farm School programs, EarthDance cultivates food leaders alongside abundant fresh produce.
Gleaning is harvesting crops from farms and gardens that would otherwise go unused and donating them to individuals and families within Operation Food Search's network of food pantries. It is a great opportunity for volunteers to learn about our local food system and expand their knowledge around farming and gardening practices.
