Tips For Donating Produce
- Harvest fruits and vegetables in a safe manner to minimize the risk of foodborne illness. For example, always wash hands before harvesting and wear clean gloves.
- Do not harvest if you are sick (coughing, sneezing, have a fever, etc.). If you are ill and worried about your produce spoiling, please ask a friend or neighbor to help harvest.
- We kindly ask that herbicides, insecticides, and chemical fertilizers not be used in the growing of produce donated. Organic fertilizers and pest control should be used when needed.
- Do not donate food that is overripe, has mold, bruising, or insect damage
- Wipe as much dirt/mud off of the produce as possible, but do not rinse. Rinsing can cause the produce to spoil more quickly.
