What is Gleaning?
Gleaning is the collection of leftover crops both large and small, from both farmers’ fields after they have been commercially harvested or from fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. GleanSLO has expanded this definition to include the collection of surplus produce from backyards and gardens of community residents.
