No Fruit Left Behind

GLEAN-O-METER: 3,631 lbs to date! .. Got Fruit? Come get involved! NFLB gleans excess fruit from farms that would otherwise have gone to waste. Buy one - Give one.

We find farms in the Kona area with an abundance and organize volunteers to harvest, process, distribute and donate fresh local food to the community. We then process, distribute and donate the food locally. 50% of the fruit goes back to host farmers and out to food pantries, senior groups and schools, and 50% is (hopefully) sold as a fundraiser to defray a small part of the costs to run this grea

t project. This means that for every fruit you buy from our project, one other fruit is being shared with others. Through volunteer parties, we network with local farms to find and harvest the abundance of fruit each week.Good for people and Good for the environment.

Great White Grapefruit went to the local food pantry today after a glean on Thursday - tree is still wanting us to come back and relieve it of its burden. Anyone up for a glean on Thurs the 21st?
