Please keep in mind that our first priority is harvesting for the Food Bank and its recipients. Each farm/site is different and will have varying preferences as to what we do with blemished fruits and vegetables. Please bring a reusable bag in the event that there is produce for volunteers to take home. Hope to see you out there!
