Harvest for ALL Donations
Delivered to Food Pantries

Forty local producers and individuals raised over $13,000 in crop proceeds, cash and in-kind donations - all designated to local food pantries. The program's success earned it a Program of Excellence Award from the American Farm Bureau Federation. Click on the "Harvest for ALL" tab above for more information.
