Small Potatoes Gleaning Opportunities

Bringing local farms’ bounty to the hungry.

Gleaning is the ancient practice of gathering food left in the fields after harvest. Our Small Potatoes Gleaning Project takes this age-old practice and puts it into action in Whatcom County. Small Potatoes’ volunteers annually glean more than 200,000 pounds of produce from local farms and then we deliver these fruits and vegetables to area food banks, soup kitchens, and feeding programs.
