Harvests and Other Events

If you are a first time gleaner, you must register to volunteer before signing up for an event.

Each adult must sign up separately to attend. To sign up for an event, click on the 'Sign up for this event' button. Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with the exact address and detailed information about the event. If the roster is full, your name will be added to a waiting list and you will receive an email if anyone ahead of you cancels their spot.

Move the mouse over harvests on the calendar to see details and a sign up link below the calendar. Green harvests have roster openings left; yellow harvests have a waiting list.

No volunteer spots available? If you are registered to volunteer you will receive an email every Friday with a link to check out fresh opportunities!
