From Farm to Families: No Food Left Behind

Gleaning is a critical, volunteer-powered effort to recover surplus produce from farmers markets—fresh food that would otherwise go to waste. FARMore WA partners with Sustainable Ballard, Family Works, and Food for All to collect this excess every Sunday at Ballard Farmers Market, and seasonally at Wallingford and Madrona markets. The food, originally grown on local farms, makes its way to urban communities, extending its life and purpose. Delivered to local food banks like Ballard Food Bank and Family Works, it nourishes families and individuals in need, ensuring the bounty of our farms benefits as many as possible.

To help carry this vital mission forward and directly support your community, volunteer with us. Contact Olivia at gleanballard@gmail.com to get involved.
