Highlight of 2023. We partner with Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program's Merrymeeting Gleaner program to provide fresh, local produce every week from late spring into late October. This free service delivers vegetables and fruit to over 30 households. We also have inspired local gardeners to share produce from their own gardens expanding our offerings.
