In Cheshire County, gleaning is coordinated through The Community Kitchen, Inc., an emergency food agency that serves residents of the Monadnock Region with a weekly pantry program and hot meals six days a week. Our Gleaning Project was started in 2013 and has enabled us to partner with other agencies and businesses within Cheshire County. In its 7 years this project has brought well over a hundred thousand pounds of farm and garden fresh produce into our programs. Produce that is gleaned in Cheshire County also makes its way to local community food shelves and school meals programs. We strive to guide our guests and clients to make better food choices and partner with other agencies offering cooking workshops, classes and recipes.
