Community Harvest of Central Vermont (CHCV), utilizes the generosity of local farmers and to address food security needs and reduce waste in our community. Each year we partner with 50 to 100 generous farms, home growers, and other food producers to reduce the amount of surplus food going to waste and address increasing food insecurity in our community. With the help of 200 to 400 community volunteers of all ages, we glean crops from farm fields, pick up from farm pack houses, and recover food from farmers' markets. Even with our year-round, weekly pick-ups, what we collect is still just a fraction of the estimated two million pounds of unsold produce grown in Central Vermont each season.
