Gleaning is one of the oldest forms of charity. Farmers allow volunteers from local charities into their fields to remove crops that are too blemished to sell.
Jessica's Organic Farm, Sarasota, Florida, allows gleaners from the All Faiths Food Bank into their fields every Monday morning, during the growing season. They harvest and box produce that will be too old to sell at the Saturday farmers' market.
At the end of the three to four hours of gleaning and packing volunteers are encouraged to take what is left.
