Preparations for the 2021 season have begun! This January, our orchard and farm team along with the dedicated Harvard Tuesday Crew volunteers were hard at work pruning the thousands of trees at our Prospect Hill Orchard. Pruning will ensure the trees have a fruitful harvest this year so we can continue to provide fresh fruits to our food insecure neighbors.The following grantmakers have provided funds to support our continuing mission of hunger relief: The TJX Foundation and Dell Technologies.

Volunteer Farming for Hunger Relief!
Community Harvest Project (CHP) is a non-profit farm that engages volunteers to grow fresh fruits and vegetables to provide to those experiencing hunger. Through their volunteer farming programs, education initiatives, and community partnerships, CHP brings thousands of community members together each year to improve access to healthy foods for individuals and families in need across Worcester County.
In 2016, CHP engaged over 10,000 volunteers who helped grow and donate over 950,000 servings of produce throughout the MA hunger relief network. Make a donation or join the thousands of people who volunteer with us every year. We can’t do it without you. Ready to get your hands dirty?
More information is available on their website. -
