What is gleaning?

Farmers often have produce left over that they can’t sell and don’t wish to throw away or turn under, so instead of letting it go to waste, they donate it, and then, with the help of After the Harvest, feed hungry people. Gleaning is picking what’s left in farmers’ fields after the harvest and delivering it to food banks (like Harvesters–The Community Food Network), pantries, shelters and community kitchens
