Harvesting is not just about food for yourself — it can be a way to support your neighbors, community organizations, and even create income.

When Harvesting for Sharing or Sale:

• Harvest in small, manageable batches to maintain freshness.

• Wash, trim, and package produce in clean containers or bags.

• Label with crop type and harvest date.

• Keep records using a Harvest & Sales Log (to track amounts donated, sold, or used at home).

Connecting Beyond Your Garden:

• Food Banks & Pantries – donate extra produce.

• Farmers Markets – test small-scale sales.

• Community Meals – share in group cooking events.

• CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) – collaborate with neighbors to pool crops.

Reflection Prompt:
How would it feel to provide fresh food to someone who doesn’t normally have access to it?
