Who else is loving these dog days of summer? 😎
Spent a beautiful August afternoon with our sweet gardeners harvesting carrots together!
These tiny hands harvested almost 25 pounds!
Half will head up to our friends at Neighbors Link and the other half will go to The Pantry.
Many thanks to busy grandma, PCG Board member and the Director of Programs and Community Engagement at The Pantry, Roberta Horowitz for sharing these little ones with us again today.

It’s was SUCH a good day in the garden at St. John's Episcopal Church, Pleasantville, NY! 🌻

Sharing what we do and why with these wonderful Pleasantville EVBS students was such a pleasure. Discussing in our community and how we can all do our part is especially urgent now more than ever.

In addition to sharing the history of the garden, which was started by a student their age, we harvested produce and added these beautiful colored rocks to our growing PCG collection.

Thankful for this beautiful sunny day and for this wonderful community for always supporting the work we do to help those in need.

It sure feels good when we can fill the empty shelves in the walk in fridge at Hillside Food Outreach.
The farmers and bakers at the Pleasantville Farmers Market were super generous today, donating hundreds of pounds of unsold corn, squash, zucchini, bread and herbs to those in need.
We know how hard they work to grow this beautiful produce, which will be deeply appreciated by those who struggle to access healthy food.
Thank you!!

Pulled these 🧄 beauties tonight before the rain descended upon us. Always feels a little bittersweet when the garlic is harvested…a sign the summer has peaked. 🥹

With August just around the corner, we’re planning a second round of seeds for the fall harvest 🍁 What’s on the list?
Lettuce 🥬
radishes 🫜
turnips 🧅
leeks 🌱
Suggestions? We’d love to hear them.
