Start of the autumn 2024
We would like to say a massive thank you to members Lorraine, Helen and Phil Lisamore and Leo’s Daisy and Ethan for attending and supporting this onion glean.
We filled 96 trays of onions, approx 2000 kgs in weight from Russell’s Farm, these will be distributed by Fareshare.
And to top this, we have smashed our record, 100 ton of fruit and veg gleaned around the UK since starting this project in November 2019.
Another fantastic gleaning day.
71 sacks of Cox’s apples, 1500 kgs plus what we brought home ourselves which have been dropped off at the parish pantry and two local nursery’s.
12 people which consisted of two Lion’s and two Leo’s.
This produce will be heading to City Harvest London and Still Good Food charities.
