We still have some active crops that we’re harvesting for sale (they will be roped off-limits for gleaners, but there’s plenty of rainbow carrots, some beets, scallions, lemon basil, garlic chives, chard, kale, curryleaf, salad (lettuce) mix, edible flowers, and we have beans, eggs, honey, rice and some odds and ends in the walk-in cooler available for sale when you come on Sunday. Unfortunately, there’s not much in the way of tomatoes-most of the trellising was taken down this past week.
Don’t forget to wear a hat and sunscreen, and bring a basket for your goodies. If you don’t want to get your hands grubby, bring some gloves (me, I like to feel the dirt between my fingers!) We’ll be around to show you how the various things are harvested.
Of course, remember to bring a potluck dish to share-oh, a folding chair or two would be helpful too! Enjoy meeting fellow CSA members-this is a very laid-back event. See you Sunday!

CSA members come with bags and containers and pick what’s left. Noticed there’s a few heirloom tomatoes hanging around. The fun is the potluck and meeting other members, and it’s a nice outing for kids. NO cigarettes (tobacco is very bad for tomato plants) and no dogs, please!

I was curious about the word ‘Gleaning’ as well. Here’s a search via Wikipedia:
“Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers’ fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. Some ancient cultures promoted gleaning as an early form of a welfare system.”

I know the meaning of gleaning but what is Gleaning Day in the context of Bee Heaven CSA? (This is my first season so I’m not familiar with all of the traditions.)
