Toro Canyon Ranch Orange Glean
Date
Mon, Aug 3
Time
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location
1077 Toro Canyon Road, California, 93108, United States
Join Veggie Rescue in Toro Canyon to glean orange trees! We’ll be harvesting fruit along a half mile steed private drive that would otherwise go unused, and donating it to our partner organizations serving individuals experiencing food insecurity. No prior experience is needed, just a willingness to lend a hand. We’d love to have you join us for a fun, meaningful day of community care!
Veggie Rescue has partnered with Tom Shepherd to create Shepherd’s Giving Farm, a 20-acre certified organic farm nestled in the Santa Ynez River Valley just outside of Buellton, with a single purpose: grow food and give it all away. Every crop grown and harvested at Shepherd's Giving Farm is passed directly to Veggie Rescue, who then distributes it at no cost to over 70 local nonprofit partners across Santa Barbara County. Those partners serve the people who need fresh food most: families, seniors, people in recovery, immigrants, unhoused individuals, and children. Nothing leaves the farm for profit. The entire operation exists to move fresh, organic food from the ground to the people who need it. Therefore, Shepherd's Giving Farm relies on a growing network of volunteers and community groups, especially during planting and harvest seasons.
